How is your fruit?

You were appointed, chosen, to be a fruit bearer.
Gal 5:16-26

One question to ask yourself: am I more in love with Jesus today than a year ago?

Do I bear more fruit for the Lord today, than a year ago?

Think about this: everything has a cycle. Season, dishwashers, marriages, addiction, and even producing fruit for the Lord.

Heb 10:14 you are immediately made sanctified in Christ.

:::Cycle of fruitfulness:::

1) recognize the Spirit and walk in the Spirit, and so you will drive out sin. Kind of like a room that is dark because the light is not on; to "remove" the dark, you turn on the light (See Gal 5:16-26, Rom 6:10-11; see yourself dead to sin)

2) application: sow into the Spirit
(See Gal 6:7-9, Rom 6: Paul says our old sin nature is dead when we are with Christ. What Christ killed, what are we doing resurrecting it?)

So why do we still sin? Because though your Spirit is renewed, your mind and your flesh still speak your old language. In a way, your habits have to be conformed to your NEW life, and not to the old. I've heard that it takes 21 days to change a habit.
Rom 12:2

Sermon notes from Citw

Joy to the world the Lord has come Based on psalm 98 God’s promises are truly,  unlike men's promises. His second coming is at hand. 2 Peter 3:9-11 He's waiting for us to speed the Gospel. We are stewards of the mysteries. Have you been faithful in that stewardship? Live a life of evangelism. Share the Gospel. Christmas is a good time to also celebrate Christ's second coming. The celebration has been twisted by Satan to become commercialized and a frantic,  stressful time. The Lord's second coming should not be a fearful awaiting... Stashing food and weapons... But you should love His appearing. Rev 21:4-5 1 Cor 15:58 Rev 20:9 Always examine your life in light of his return. Acts 1:11 Live with intensity. Are you going to live knowing that Jesus could come back this year? Will you live this new year like you lived this past year? If so, you're likely to get the same result. The saved are born twice and die once and are raised in the first resurrection...

Today at work, I was searching for a solution to a project, regarding calculating of shipping to Canada with Google Checkout, and was browsing in FireFox, with some search results open in a window. I was then about to open up an Internet Explorer window, which had some examples to resolve the issue at hand, though in XML code, which was different than what I use at work, but felt in my hear not to open that window, but to continue searching in FireFox. After continuing to search in FireFox, the next search result I opened included an example to Canada with the code which I use. Weeeeoeoeoeooewoowowowowowowoow owwoowowowo. Obedience to the Lord is woowowowowoowowoeooeooeooewoowo eowoowoeoowowwwowowowo awesome.

Today

Today David my brother in law who is visiting us for the summer, found a ticket on the train to Chicago. Soon after we arrived and left the train, a man came up asking for help in buying a ticket for the train. David had one! Praise God that this you g man now had this ticket, as God provides opportnities like this to impact the world in a positive way. Mom Reyes, my mom in law, told me a story about a homeless veteran who died outside in the winter months in Alexandria. She said that he was offered help and was off the streets for six months, but after that time he was back homeless. Mom said that the man, Jimmy, may have had trouble with his mind. He may have had trouble keeping a job in his state of mind. That's tragic.
