Refreshing Our Spirits With Scripture

11.2- Keep your spiritual reserve tanks topped off with the Holy Spirit filling your heart on a daily basis. Matthew 25. 25  “Then the kingdom of heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2  Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent. 3  For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, 4  but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. 5  Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. 6  But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him .’ 7  Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8  The foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9  But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too ; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’ 10  And while they were going away to make the pur...

11.1- It is no secret what God can do.  What He did for others He will do for you. 1 Timothy 2. 2  First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, 2  for kings and all who are in [ a ] authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and [ b ] dignity. 3  This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4  who desires all men to be saved and to come to the [ c ] knowledge of the truth.

10.31- Being a child of God by the grace of God for us as children of God our destiny. Working out what God has worked in us is our daily walk with Him. Luke 7. 40  And Jesus answered him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he [ ad ] replied, “Say it, Teacher.” 41  “A moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred [ ae ] denarii, and the other fifty. 42  When they were unable to repay, he graciously forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?” 43  Simon answered and said, “I suppose the one whom he forgave more.” And He said to him, “You have judged correctly.” 44  Turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45  You gave Me no kiss; but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet. 46  You did not anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet wit...

10.30- The cost of doing nothing isn't nothing. James 4. 17  Therefore, to one who knows the [ k ] right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin. Matthew 25. 14  “For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them. 15  To one he gave five [ a ] talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey. 16  Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more talents. 17  In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more. 18  But he who received the one talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his [ b ] master’s money. 19  “Now after a long time the master of those slaves *came and *settled accounts with them. 20  The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you e...

10.29- You can't have a free society by hating everyone you disagree with. Acts 15. 36  After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return and visit the brethren in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are.” 37  Barnabas wanted to take John, called Mark, along with them also. 38  But Paul kept insisting that they should not take him along who had deserted them [ u ] in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work. 39  And there occurred such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus. 40  But Paul chose Silas and left, being committed by the brethren to the grace of the Lord. 41  And he was traveling through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.

10.28- A friend is a foundation when our house collapses and a roof when it rains. A friend loves like Jesus. A friend does what we ask them to do. A friend listens to the words we have heard from our Father in heaven. A friend is chosen. A friend is productive in your life. John 15. 12  “This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. 13  Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. 14  You are My friends if you do what I command you. 15  No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16  You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. 17  This I command you, that you love one another. 2 T...

10.27- "The key to immortality is living a life worth remembering." Bruce Lee John 17. 22  The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; 23  I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected [ g ] in unity, so that the world may [ h ] know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. 24  Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25  “O righteous Father, [ i ] although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me; 26  and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
