And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

Isaiah 11:2

For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

2 Corinthians 3:17

I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13

And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations.

Ezekiel 36:26-27

But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)

Romans 8:9

And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

Romans 5:5

And when you believed in Christ, He identified you as His own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom He promised long ago.

And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

Acts 10:38

God has blessed me....nothing else to say

When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.

Titus 3:4-5

Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding.

Isaiah 40:28

“the love of money is the root of all evil,” a phrase destined for a long history.

(this is proof of Christ as the divine intellect, this phrase has had profound influence upon ideological considerations for 2 millenia after it's creators death)

Chaucer would cite it frequently, and it has formed the basis for many Christian Socialist sermons.

The consequence drawn from this attitude was, logically enough, that the good life did not involve wealth. The good life was a life of poverty and charity, storing up treasures in heaven instead of on earth. On earth, indeed, one was called upon to distribute one’s treasure to the poor.

Thus Jesus advises the young man who asks him how to live to follow the ten commandments, and when asked if this is all that is necessary, replies,

“if you wish to go the whole way, go, sell your possessions, and give to the poor, and then you will have riches in heaven, and come, follow me.”

The fact that Jesus himself was a poor man, and that imitating him, the Christian’s duty, meant becoming poor, signaled a revolution in the way in which poverty and wealth were viewed.

Never before had any god been conceived of as poor.

NEVER BEFORE HAD ANY GOD BEEN CONCEIVED OF AS POOR.
(the nerve of nazareth)

It is emblematic of a strand of Christ's teachings that sees the wealthy man as exceptionally sinful,

and promises that on the day of judgment, “many who are first will be last and the last first,” in other words that the social order will be turned upside down and that the poor will turn out to be the ones truly blessed.

Aristotle and Cicero would hardly have imagined that “vile” laborers might turn out to be better off than they

The devil's finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist.

For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all.

Luke 8:17

They have told no lies; they are without blame.

Revelation 14:5

Where should I start? Old or New Testament? King James?

I use the NLT, New Living Translation.

How old are u? I heard that’s for kids or adults who have a hard time reading. It also has 16 omitted verses

I use NIV, NLT and NKJV too. Just use the bible app. The King James version is nice to read too

I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you

Teaching about Love for Enemies

“You have heard the law that says, ‘Love your neighbor’ and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.

Love for Enemies

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

“You’re familiar with the old written law, ‘Love your friend,’ and its unwritten companion, ‘Hate your enemy.’ I’m challenging that. I’m telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the supple moves of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty. If all you do is love the lovable, do you expect a bonus? Anybody can do that.

Matthew 5:43-45
