Louise Teaching on Love, Part 3, July 9, 2022

For this lesson on love and change, Part 3, let’s start with Romans 5:5: 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

One, in fact has to change to get in line with the Word. Patience, love and hope go together. Love of God is poured out on you by the Holy Spirit.

God is developing character. It’s a process since God is really developing your character to line up with his word.

1 John 3:14 tells us: 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. John is saying that you can cut your span short. Sin will bring an early demise. But we are responsible for what we do or say, and we ourselves open the door to sin.

1 Corinthians 13 is one of the most wonderful passage in Scripture addressing love:

13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

The passage above from 1 Corinthians 13 is the “love walk.”

Louise, On the Love Walk, Part 2, July 9, 2022

Let’s start with Jone 15:9-10: 9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. ”

Talking about the love walk. Abide in his love, important.

When you love another as I have loved you. Love has a lot to do with getting your prayers answered. The “love walk” is among the most important.

“The fruit of the spirit is love. See Galatians 5:22-23: 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Love is the character of God

Louise uses the metaphor of an orange. There are segments, which represent the fruits of the Spirit, among them, peace, long suffering
(are you silent, or loud in describing your long suffering in love), kindness (is an active act)goodness, morality, wholeness, and faithfullness.

Ministers today are afraid to preach the whole truth or word of God, not just wanting to make your congregation feel good. They fail to address such subjects as homosexuality, etc.

Or, how about girls dressing like hookers, and the subjects of drinking and drugs.

Parents, the above problems are YOUR problems!

Morality is part of the walk of faith.

What NEEDS to be taught in church is NOT being taught. Parents need to step up to the plate.

Louise Teachings a Three Part Series on Love, Monday June 6 2022, Part 1

Louise teaching a three part series on Love, Monday June 6 2022. See Galatians 5 to start with. God wants us to act as he would act, not the way we might respond to insults, hurt, etc. We tend to make excuses and blame everything else.
We need to trust in the Holy Spirit, especially in your love walk. God wants to bring you up to his standard, rather than working, acting to your own standard, built largely upon the flesh.
You need to renew your mind daily to the word of God

Love Teaching a Three Part Series on Love, Monday June 6, 2022, Part 2

Louise teaching a three part series on love, Monday June 6, 2022 part 2. Let’s start with the Book of Matthew, 4:1. Why did Jesus have to be baptized and have the Holy Spirit come upon him? All of us–like Jesus–need to baptized and receive the Holy Spirit.
Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil. God will sometimes test us to see what is in our hearts.
We think we know it, and then are put to the test and in our own wilderness we learn to grow close, and totally dependent, upon God.
Have you ever felt God has abandoned you? He hasn’t. You need to keep reading and studying.
Jesus’s answer to temptation was the word of God.

Louise Teaching a Series on Love, Monday June 6, 2022, Part 3

Louise Teaching on Love, Monday June 6, 2022, Part 3. Read Matthew 5, the Beatitudes. Louise examines the meanings and teachings of the Beatitudes, beginning with “Blessed are….”
The areas addressed in the Beatitudes are 1. repentance, 2. the meek, “one who is teachable” and has a humble spirit. One who is willing to be taught. 3.Those who have a discerning spirit and only trust in the word of God. 4. We’ve become very complacent, comfortable in our ways. We need to change to hunger and thirst after righteousness. 5. We need to learn to be more like Christ. I want wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. 6. Blessed are the merciful. We need to find God’s mercy, invoked when God calls us to be merciful. 7. Blessed are the pure in heart. Read 1 John 1:9 to receive forgiveness and grow closer to God. 8. Blessed are the peacemakers. Do NOT hang out with disbelievers, liars, cheats, morally poor. You become more like them, than the reverse.
