Daily Reading:<\/strong> 2 Kings 3:1-4:17 ESV<\/a>, Acts 14:8-28 ESV<\/a>, Psalm 140:1-13 ESV<\/a>, Proverbs 17:22 ESV<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily Verse:<\/strong> \u201cYet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by giving you rains from heaven and fruitful<\/em> seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.\u201d (Acts 14:17 ESV<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KARPOPHOROS (2593): <\/strong>\u201cFruitbearing (fig): -fruitful (1x).\u00a0 As an adjective, denotes \u201cfruitful.\u201d[i]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fruit-bearing faith.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul and Barnabas in Lystra healed a disabled person in front of a large crowd.  Thinking their power came from Greek gods, the people named Hermes and Zeus.  When the apostles hear this, they protest vehemently, reminding them of Jesus and His Spirit that now lives within us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the Holy Spirit, we become fruitful.\u00a0 When Jesus departed earth for heaven, He left behind help.\u00a0 Tuning in to the Spirit\u2019s work in your life happens when you seek God intentionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily inviting Jesus into your life brings fruitfulness you can find no other way.  Applying Christ\u2019s teachings to your life situations will give you life to the fullest.  Amid the madness, you will produce incredible fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Become fruitful.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let Jesus help you bear good fruit.  Get to know Christ by reading the gospels.  Feel the love Jesus leads with as you see Him interact with people.  Imperfect, sinful humans whose lives had no hope, Jesus loved.  Learn about Christ\u2019s Spirit through the authors of the Bible who experienced it first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you apply Jesus’ teachings to your life, you will become more sensitive to His Spirit within you.  You\u2019ll recognize the nudge that causes you to do what Jesus did instead of what you want to do at pivotal moments.  Leading with grace becomes your calling card the more you follow Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recognize the one true God.  Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.  Begin doing what Christ did.  Without a doubt, you will produce better fruit than you can even imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
