What Fruit Are You Bearing
Scripture: Galatians 5:22-26
When we start to desire and strive for the things of God instead of things for ourselves, the fruit we see is completely different. When we let the Spirit lead and guide us, we can be sure that there will be more of God in us and shown around us. Shine your light for Jesus.

WAKE UP!
2 Timothy 1:3-12 & Romans 13:11-14 & Ephesians 5:1-20 & Revelation 3:1-3

2 Timothy 1:3-12 From Paul, an apostle of Jesus the Messiah, appointed by God’s pleasure to announce the wonderful promise of life found in Jesus, the anointed Messiah.
2My beloved son, I pray for a greater release of God’s grace, love, and total well-being to flow into your life from God our Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ!
3You know that I’ve been called to serve the God of my fathers with a clean conscience. Night and day I pray constantly for you, building a memorial for you with my prayers. 4I know that you have wept for me, your spiritual father, and your tears are dear to me. I can’t wait to see you again! I’m filled with joy 5as I think of your strong faith that was passed down through your family line. It began with your grandmother Lois, who passed it on to your dear mother, Eunice. And it’s clear that you too are following in the footsteps of their godly example.
6I’m writing to encourage you to fan into a flame and rekindle the fire of the spiritual gift God imparted to you when I laid my hands upon you. 7For God will never give you the spirit of fear, but the Holy Spirit who gives you mighty power, love, and self-control. 8So never be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor be embarrassed over my imprisonment, but overcome every evil by the revelation of the power of God! 9He gave us resurrection life and drew us to himself by his holy calling on our lives. And it wasn’t because of any good we have done, but by his divine pleasure and marvelous grace that confirmed our union with the anointed Jesus, even before time began! 10This truth is now being unveiled by the revelation of the anointed Jesus, our life-giver, who has dismantled death, obliterating all its effects on our lives, and has manifested his immortal life in us by the gospel.
11And he has anointed me as his preacher, his apostle, and his teacher of truth to the nations. 12The confidence of my calling enables me to overcome every difficulty without shame, for I have an intimate revelation of this God. And my faith in him convinces me that he is more than able to keep all that I’ve placed in his hands safe and secure until the fullness of his appearing. TPT
Wake UP Church!!!!
If you are a Christian, you may have let the inferno die down.
But there are still some hot coals left to fan into flames.

Romans 13:11-14 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.

Ephesians 5:1-20 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said:
“Wake up, sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on w**e, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Revelation 3:1-3 “To the angel of the church in Sardis write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. NIV

Are we sleepwalking through our Christian life and not even realizing it?

Christians! It is time to wake from our slumber and do the work of the Lord
We should be filled with spirit and honor God with our lives, not filled with sin and darkness

Christians have begun to compromise when it comes to sin in the church
Instead of hard biblical teachings about repentance and turning from sin, They get a soft watered down message about the gospel that allows sin to run free.
We are to honor God and Him alone
That means with all of our being
We are to crucify our flesh

Galatians 5:24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. NKJV

We must not live in the dark
Put off the old man and wake up

We must WAKE UP!
Be Prepared!
Living, serving and anticipating the return with great hope and joy!

Matthew 24:44 – So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man WILL come at an hour when you do not expect him.

Faith Over Fear
Not Ashamed Of The Gospel
2 Timothy 1:3-12

“I’M OVERWHELMED!”

2 Timothy 1:3-12 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, 4 greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy, 5 when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. 6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Not Ashamed of the Gospel
8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God, 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 to which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

Matthew 28:18-20 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Philippians 2:13 For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure. AMP
8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord,

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

It is not YOUR spirit that God is speaking about doing His work, IT IS GOD’S SPIRIT!
When are we going to stop worrying about what we can do and start concentrating on what God can do in and through us?!

Mark 8:34-38 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

Far from being ashamed of the person and work of Jesus, be so positively unashamed, bold and confident in the Gospel of Christ, that you are willing to suffer for it, knowing that He has chosen you, called you and equipped you to do so.

Gospel preaching is more than just words.
More than just a lovely speech.
It is preaching the Good News.
It is spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
And I am not ashamed of that Gospel!

Philippians 4:13 I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty. TPT

Mark 9:23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

This Gospel is not just a book of philosophy or a set of rules, it is active power to the world, capable of transforming each and everyone’s life!
Revelation 2:1-7 “To the angel of the church of Ephesus write,
‘These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: 2 “I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; 3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary. 4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. 6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’

As the church has been sitting around fighting battles that aren’t ours to fight, battles that have already been fought, on our account, God is calling us, telling us that now is the time.
He is telling us that if we have ears, let us listen!
He is standing at the door knocking, waiting for us to answer the call.

Revelation 3:20-22 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

WE ARE HERE TO GO INTO ALL NATIONS PREACHING AND TEACHING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST!!!
WHO WILL GO WITH ME?
WHO IS NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST?

Loving Others
Scripture: John 13:34-35; Luke 6:27-28; Romans 12:9-10
Loving others seems so simple until we start adding our own rules. We are commanded to love others; yet we seem to only do that if there is something in return. What if Jesus would have done that to us? Where would we be today? Love like Jesus - no matter what!
