Spirit that dwelleth in you
STIR
YOU UP
2 Peter 1:11-13 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting
[agelasting] kingdom of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ. 12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things,
though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. 13
Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

THE
MIND OF CHRIST
Philippians 2:5-9 Let
this mind be in you, which was also in
Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not
robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took
upon him the form of a servant, and
was made in the likeness of men: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of
the cross. 9 Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is
above every name
A
LIVING HOPE
1 Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which
according to his abundant mercy hath begotten
us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To [for]

by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be

every one that doeth [present

is born of him.

give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

WATCH
AND PRAY

heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting
[excess], and drunkenness,
and cares of this life, and so
that day come upon you unawares
(distracted). 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that
dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch

come to pass, and to stand before the
Son of man.
