5 hours ago, Who me said:

 

Don't we love Jargon!

abide in Christ, Paul talked about clearly presenting the gospel, ever thought about the jargon used by Christians when talking about the faith.

 

Now explain what you mean?

Jargon;   special words or expressions that are used by a particular profession or group and are difficult
for others to understand,  
a form of language regarded as barbarous, debased, or hybrid.

"Don't we love Jargon!"
You need to speak for your self, Who me, and not the rest of us. I had to look up the meaning.
You could simply ask your question and I would have simply answered.
Instead, led by your spirit, you decided to add a little spice.  Cool, but I wondered, Who me?...............

John 15 is one of my favorite scriptures, and I have learned a lot of wisdom there.
The OP was about fruit (of the spirit) and how to obtain it. John 15 is about fruit 'bearing'.
My post was to show that we cannot produce fruit, as scripture says. But we can allow Christ's fruit to flow THROUGH us...
I assumed  God's word here would be self explanatory. Yet I did explain it anyway.
Most importantly, I repeated the scripture, we must abide, in Christ, to bear fruit!
His fruit, that he produced, that we are privileged to bear, as we cannot bear fruit "of ourselves", unless we abide.
Jesus describes He is the true vine, we are the branches, The Father is the vine tender.
A branch laying lazily on the ground cannot do anything. Abiding on the vine, it bears what the vine produces.
The fruit we bear is not for our consumption. It is for others.
I already showed the definitions about abide. My take on it is like having a God consciousnesses, an awareness, of his presence,
acknowledging him about everything I do. (asking for help) An expressed need for direction, in actions words, and thoughts.
Admitting/confessing sin immediately, agreeing with God my lack, and then I press on, not morphing over it.
All sin has been 'totally' paid for. My "all day long" confessing sin is for fellowship, and cleansing of any unrighteousness.
It also adds good(true) data (light) in my mind, to remove false data, lies, etc. I suppose, becoming a "Jesus freak!"

Thy word have I hid in my heart that I may not sin against thee.     (good/true data)

In my wildest dreams, I would never thought God's word, "Abide in me", would have been considered Jargon.
I apologize for not being more understandable. I also don't understand/use most highfalutin(
pompous or pretentious) words.

The fruit is not missing, as a believer you already do have all the fruit, it's part of the Gift you've been given [Acts 2:38] we just need to believe it and exercise it.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
