Dear Intercessors,
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after
the flesh, but after the Spirit…. For they who after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but
they who are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to
be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is
not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot
please God…. And we know that all things work together for good to them who love God, to
them who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did
predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among
many brethren. Moreover, whom He did predestinate, them He also called; and whom He called,
them He also justified; and whom He justified, them He also glorified. What shall we then say to
these things? If God before us, who can be against us?... Who shall separate us from the love of
Christ?” “Seek you the LORD while He may be found, call you upon Him while He is near; let
the wicked forsake his (or her) way, and the unrighteous man (or woman) his (or her) thoughts,
and let him (or her) return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him (or her); and to our
God’, for He will abundantly pardon. ‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your
ways My ways’, saith the LORD. ‘For as the heavens are higher than the Earth, so are My ways’
higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.... So shall My Word be that goeth
forth out of My mouth; it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I
please, and it shall prosper in the tiling whereto I sent it. For you shall go out with Joy, and be
led forth with peace.’… Thus saith the LORD: ‘Keep judgment and do justice, for My salvation
is near to come and My righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man (or woman) who doeth
this.’”
“This I say then, ‘Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the
flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to
the other, so that you cannot do the things that you would.’.... Now the works of the flesh are
manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft,
hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness,
revellings, and such like, of the which I tell you before as I have also told you in time past, that
they who do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, against such there
is no law. And they who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.”
“Now unto Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according
to the power that worketh in us, unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all
ages, world without end. Amen.” “Then Peter began to say unto Him, ‘Lo we have left all and
have followed Thee.’ And Jesus answered and said, ‘Verily I say unto you, there is no man who
hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for My
sake and the Gospel’s but he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren,
or sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions, and in the world to come
eternal life.’” “Be you therefore followers of God as dear children, and walk in love, as Christ
hath loved us and hath given Himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-
smelling savor…. See that you walk circumspectly not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time,
because the days are evil. Wherefore be you not unwise, but understand what the will of the
Lord is.” “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for
it.” “Fulfill you my joy that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one
mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind, let each esteem
other better than themselves.”
Learning from Him,
Bill Stevenson
