WHAT IS FRUIT

WHAT IS FRUIT 

John 15:1-5 

I Am The True Vine, And My Father Is The Husbandman. Every Branch In Me That Beareth Not Fruit He Taketh Away: And Every Branch That Beareth Fruit, He Purgeth It, That It May Bring Forth More Fruit. Now Ye Are Clean Through The Word Which I Have Spoken Unto You. Abide In Me, And I In You. As The Branch Cannot Bear Fruit Of Itself, Except It Abide In The Vine; No More Can Ye, Except Ye Abide In Me. I Am The Vine, Ye Are The Branches: He That Abideth In Me, And I In Him, The Same Bringeth Forth Much Fruit: For Without Me Ye Can Do Nothing.

Galatians 5:22-25 

But The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance: Against Such There Is No Law. And They That Are Christ's Have Crucified The Flesh With The Affections And Lusts. If We Live In The Spirit, Let Us Also Walk In The Spirit.

Ephesians 5:9 

(For The Fruit Of The Spirit Is In All Goodness And Righteousness And Truth;)

We Sometimes Think That The Fruit Is Winning Souls, But The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Within Us. As We Grow In The Knowledge Of Christ Jesus We Grow Fruit Of The Spirit. Remember Now Fruit Does Not Grow Instantly Fruit Grows Gradually. Some Christians Believe That We Will Instantly Be Mature Fruit, Watch A Fruit Tree And You Will Understand The Process. Jesus Christ Said We Are Purged Also. We Are Purged To Grow More Fruit. Sometimes Some Of The Things We Think God Wants Us To Do Is Not His Will; So He Will Purge It From Us. THE PURGING THAT GOD PERFORMS IS NOT A BAD THING! 

Let Those Things Go And Grow In The Fruit Of The Spirit On The True Vine. 

The Gifts Of The Spirit Are Different From The Fruit Of The Spirit. 

The Gifts Of The Spirit Are For Helping Others Grow In Faith And The Knowledge Of Christ Jesus. The Gifts Of The Spirit Are For Us All To Grow Together As One Body.

1 Corinthians 12:4-12 

Now There Are Diversities Of Gifts, But The Same Spirit. And There Are Differences Of Administrations, But The Same Lord. And There Are Diversities Of Operations, But It Is The Same God Which Worketh All In All. But The Manifestation Of The Spirit Is Given To Every Man To Profit Withal. For To One Is Given By The Spirit The Word Of Wisdom; To Another The Word Of Knowledge By The Same Spirit; To Another Faith By The Same Spirit; To Another The Gifts Of Healing By The Same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another Prophecy; To Another Discerning Of Spirits; To Another Divers Kinds Of Tongues; To Another The Interpretation Of Tongues: But All These Worketh That One And The Selfsame Spirit, Dividing To Every Man Severally As He Will. For As The Body Is One, And Hath Many Members, And All The Members Of That One Body, Being Many, Are One Body: So Also Is Christ.

Romans 15:5-7 

Now The God Of Patience And Consolation Grant You To Be Likeminded One Toward Another According To Christ Jesus: That Ye May With One Mind And One Mouth Glorify God, Even The Father Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Wherefore Receive Ye One Another, As Christ Also Received Us To The Glory Of God.

JESUS CHRIST LIVED AND DIED TO RESTORE

JESUS CHRIST LIVED AND DIED TO RESTORE

Genesis 2:15-17 

And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

John 19:40-41 

Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where He was crucified there was a Garden; and in the Garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.

John 6:54 

Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath Eternal Life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

Jesus Christ Went Freely into A Garden, Died In A Garden, Was Buried In A Garden, And Was Raised Again In A Garden. 

Genesis 2:7,9 

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of Life; and man became a Living Soul.

[9]And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; The Tree Of Life also in the midst of the Garden, and The Tree Of Knowledge Of Good And Evil.

Matthew 1:23 

Behold, a virgin shall be with Child, and shall bring forth a Son, and they shall call His Name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God With Us.

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under The Law, To redeem them that were under The Law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Hebrews 1:3 

Who being the brightness of His Glory, and the express Image Of his Person, and upholding all things by the word of His Power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on The Right Hand Of The Majesty on high;

For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

He had by Himself purged our sins, once purged we should have had no more conscience of sins.

Genesis 3:7-10 

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of The LORD God walking in the Garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of The LORD God amongst The Trees Of The Garden. And The LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

And he said, I heard Thy Voice in The Garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

Matthew 27:27-31 

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto Him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped Him, and put on Him a scarlet robe. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon His head, and a reed in His right hand: and they bowed the knee before Him, and mocked Him, saying, Hail, King Of The Jews! And they spit upon Him, and took the reed, and smote Him on the head. And after that they had mocked Him, they took the robe off from Him, and put His own raiment on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

Adam And Eve Hid From God,

Jesus Christ Was Stripped Naked So All Could See His Shame.

Jesus Christ Went into A Garden To Pray, To Talk With God Just As Adam Had Done. 

Adam And Eve Hid Themselves Among The Trees, 

Jesus Christ Was Hung On A Tree High In The Air So All Could See Him.

Genesis 3:16 

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

John 16:21-24 

A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask The Father in My Name, He will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in My Name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

Genesis 3:17 

And unto Adam He said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of The Tree, of which I Commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

Galatians 3:13 

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of The Law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every One that hangeth on a tree:

Luke 22:44 

And being in an agony He prayed more earnestly: and His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

The Blood Of Jeus Christ Dropped To The Ground Redeeming The Ground

Genesis 3:18-19 

Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Mark 15:17 

And they clothed Him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about His head,

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him.

Mark 10:34 

And they shall mock Him, and shall scourge Him, and shall spit upon Him, and shall kill Him: and the third day He shall rise again.

John 3:16-18 

For God so loved the world, that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have Everlasting Life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be Saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in The Name Of The Only Begotten Son of God.

1 Corinthians 15:22 

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made Alive.

Jesus Christ Ate Of A Tree And Herbs, Through The Vinegar And Hyssop Before He Died In Sorrow.

The Spit On The Face Of Jesus Christ Replaced The Sweat.

Genesis 3:23-24 

Therefore the LORD God sent Him forth from The Garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of The Garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of The Tree Of Life.

John 18:1-3 

When Jesus had spoken these Words, He went forth with His disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a Garden, into the which He entered, and His disciples. And Judas also, which betrayed Him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with His disciples. Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

Jesus Christ Went Into A Garden To Pray And Talk With God. 

Jesus Christ Was Crucified With His Arms Opened Wide, Welcoming All.

John 12:32 

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

1 John 2:2 

And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Eating Fruit From A Living Tree Caused Death, But By Jesus Christ Dying On A Dead Tree Brings Life.

An Alive Tree Was Used To Bring Forth Death, And A Dead Tree Was Used To Bring Forth Life. 

By Jesus Christ Dying On His Cross Making His Cross The Tree Of Life.

AND YE SHALL HEAR OF WARS AND RUMOURS OF WARS

AND YE SHALL HEAR OF WARS AND RUMOURS OF WARS

Matthew 24:6-8 

AND YE SHALL HEAR OF WARS AND RUMOURS OF WARS: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Matthew 10:32-40 

Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before My Father which is in Heaven. But whosoever shall deny Me before men, him will I also deny before My Father which is in Heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And He That Taketh Not His Cross, And Followeth After Me, Is Not Worthy Of Me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My sake shall find it. He that receiveth you receiveth Me, and He That Receiveth Me Receiveth Him That Sent Me.

Luke 12:53 

The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

Matthew 24:4-51 

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for My Name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But He That Shall Endure Unto The End, The Same Shall Be Saved. And This Gospel Of The Kingdom Shall Be Preached In All The World For A Witness Unto All Nations; And Then Shall The End Come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, stand in the Holy Place, (whoso readeth, let him understand): Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But Pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath Day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of The Son Of Man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of The Son Of Man In Heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see The Son Of Man Coming In The Clouds Of Heaven With Power And Great Glory. And He Shall Send His Angels With A Great Sound Of A Trumpet, And They Shall Gather Together His Elect from the four winds, from one end of Heaven to the other. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When His branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the Angels of Heaven, but My Father only. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of The Son Of Man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; So Shall Also The Coming Of The Son Of Man Be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the Goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not The Son Of Man Cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over His household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his Lord when He Cometh Shall Find So Doing. Verily I say unto you, That He shall make him ruler over all His goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My Lord delayeth His Coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for Him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Luke 21:6-36 

As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? And what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? And He said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the Synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for My Name's sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for My Name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! For there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of Heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see The Son OF Man coming in a cloud with Power And Great Glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your Redemption draweth nigh. And He spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that The Kingdom OF God Is Nigh At Hand. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My Words shall not pass away. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. WATCH YE THEREFORE, AND PRAY ALWAYS, THAT YE MAY BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO ESCAPE ALL THESE THINGS THAT SHALL COME TO PASS, AND TO STAND BEFORE THE SON OF MAN.

MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS VS MOTIVATIONAL PREACHERS

MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS VS MOTIVATIONAL PREACHERS 

 

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ULTIMATE MOTIVATIONAL PREACHER

Luke 4:18-21 

The Spirit Of The Lord Is Upon Me, Because He Hath Anointed Me To Preach The Gospel To The Poor; He Hath Sent Me To Heal The Brokenhearted, To Preach Deliverance To The Captives, And Recovering Of Sight To The Blind, To Set At Liberty Them That Are Bruised, To Preach The Acceptable Year Of The Lord. And He Closed The Book, And He Gave It Again To The Minister, And Sat Down. And The Eyes Of All Them That Were In The Synagogue Were Fastened On Him. And He Began To Say Unto Them, This Day Is This Scripture Fulfilled In Your Ears.

John 3:1-8 

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto Him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be Born Again, he cannot see The Kingdom Of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of The Spirit, he cannot enter into The Kingdom Of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is Born Of The Spirit Is Spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be Born Again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is Born Of The Spirit.

John 14:1-31 

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in Me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto Him, Lord, we know not whither Thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I Am The Way, The Truth, And The Life: no man cometh unto The Father, But By Me. If ye had known Me, ye should have known My Father also: and from henceforth ye know Him, and have seen Him. Philip saith unto Him, Lord, shew us The Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? He That Hath Seen Me Hath Seen The Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us The Father? Believest thou not that I Am In The Father, And The Father In Me? The Words That I Speak Unto You I Speak Not Of Myself: But The Father That Dwelleth In Me, He Doeth The Works. Believe Me That I Am In The Father, And The Father In Me: or else believe Me for the very Works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in My Name, that will I do, that The Father May Be Glorified In The Son. If ye shall ask any thing in My Name, I Will Do It. If ye love Me, Keep My Commandments. And I Will Pray The Father, And He Shall Give You Another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever; Even The Spirit Of Truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you Comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I Live, ye shall Live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you. He that hath My Commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him. Judas saith unto Him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that Thou wilt manifest Thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, He Will Keep My Words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. He that loveth Me not keepeth not my sayings: and The Word which ye hear is not Mine, but The Father's which sent Me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But The Comforter, which is The Holy Ghost, whom The Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, My Peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved Me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto The Father: for My Father Is Greater Than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in Me. But that the world may know that I love The Father; and as The Father gave Me Commandment, Even So I Do. Arise, let Us go hence.

John 15:1-12 

I Am The True Vine, And My Father Is The Husband Man. Every Branch In Me That Beareth Not Fruit He Taketh Away: And Every Branch That Beareth Fruit, He Purgeth It, That It May Bring Forth More Fruit. NOW YE ARE CLEAN THROUGH THE WORD WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU. ABIDE IN ME, AND I IN YOU. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in The Vine; no more can ye, except ye Abide In Me. I Am The Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in Me, and my Words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is My Father Glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My Disciples. As The Father Hath Loved Me, So Have I Loved You: continue ye in My Love. If ye Keep My Commandments, Ye Shall Abide In My Love; Even As I Have Kept My Father's Commandments, And Abide In His Love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. THIS IS MY COMMANDMENT, THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.

There is a big difference between being a Motivational Speakers and a Motivational Preachers. Paul and John were just two Motivational Preachers who are always Preaching Jesus Christ and His Perfect Sacrifice. 

Pointing everyone to The Cross Of Christ Jesus Is A Preacher, Pointing everyone to self is a speaker. Know the difference. 

Paul never used his education to influence others, he always spoke with a lower air than his authority. Paul definitely could have boasted in his education, in his placement as an Apostle, or in his sufferings, but he always chose to lift up Christ Jesus. Paul always reminds people who Christ Jesus Is, and who we are in Him. Look at just these few Scriptures below how Paul Preached. 

2 Corinthians 11:6 

But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.

1 Corinthians 2:2-5 

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him Crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit And Of Power: That your Faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, But In The Power Of God.

Romans 8:9 

But ye are not in the flesh, but in The Spirit, if so be that The Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not The Spirit Of Christ, He Is None Of His.

Philippians 4:13 

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Romans 8:37-39 

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from The Love Of God, Which Is In Christ Jesus Our Lord.

Philippians 4:4-9 

Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

Romans 6:17-23 

But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of Righteousness. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from Righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto Holiness, and the end Everlasting Life. For the wages of sin is death; but The Gift Of God Is Eternal Life Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.

Now look at the Preaching of John. 

1 John 1:1-7 

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word Of Life; (For The Life Was Manifested, And We Have Seen It, And Bear Witness, And Shew Unto You That Eternal Life, Which Was With The Father, And Was Manifested Unto Us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with The Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full. This then is the message which we have heard of Him, and declare unto you, that God Is Light, And In Him Is No Darkness At All. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not The Truth: But if we walk in The Light, as He Is In The Light, we have fellowship one with another, and The Blood Of Jesus Christ His Son Cleanseth Us From All Sin.

1 John 2:12-17 

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for His Name's Sake. I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him That Is From The Beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known The Father. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known Him That Is From The Beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and The Word Of God Abideth In You, And Ye Have Overcome The Wicked One. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of The Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of The Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but He That Doeth The Will Of God Abideth For Ever.

1 John 2:27-29 

But The Anointing Which Ye Have Received Of Him Abideth In You, And Ye Need Not That Any Man Teach You: But As The Same Anointing Teacheth You Of All Things, And Is Truth, And Is No Lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in Him. And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before Him at His coming. If ye know that He Is Righteous, ye know that Every One That Doeth Righteousness Is Born Of Him.

1 John 3:1-10 

Behold, what manner of Love The Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He Is. And every man that hath this Hope in him Purifieth himself, even as He Is Pure. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also The Law: for sin is the transgression of The Law. And ye know that He Was Manifested To Take Away Our Sins; And In Him Is No Sin. Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him. Little children, let no man deceive you: He That Doeth Righteousness Is Righteous, Even As He Is Righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose The Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever Is Born Of God Doth Not Commit Sin; For His Seed Remaineth In Him: And He Cannot Sin, Because He Is Born Of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not Righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

These men faced more obstacles and tribulations than we can ever imagine, and their love for Christ Jesus and also for us gave us these lasting results. These Scriptures will always abound and live. 

Jesus Christ Is And Always Be The Gospel If Anyone Preaches Anyone Ir Anything Differently Is Just A Motivational Speaker.

HIS DIVINE POWER HATH GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS

HIS DIVINE POWER HATH GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS 

2 Peter 1:1-4 

Simon Peter, A Servant And An Apostle Of Jesus Christ, To Them That Have Obtained Like Precious Faith With Us Through The Righteousness Of God and Our Saviour Jesus Christ: Grace And Peace Be Multiplied Unto You Through The Knowledge Of God, And Of Jesus Our Lord, According As His Divine Power Hath Given Unto Us All Things That Pertain Unto Life And Godliness, Through The Knowledge Of Him That Hath Called Us To Glory And Virtue: Whereby Are Given Unto Us Exceeding Great And Precious Promises: That By These Ye Might Be Partakers Of The Divine Nature, Having Escaped The Corruption That Is In The World Through Lust.

We Have Obtained Like Precious Faith With Us Through The Righteousness Of God and Our Saviour Jesus Christ. Grace And Peace Will Be Multiplied Unto Us Through The Knowledge Of God, And Of Jesus Our Lord, According As His Divine Power Hath Given Unto Us All Things That Pertain Unto Life And Godliness, Through The Knowledge Of Him That Hath Called Us To Glory And Virtue. And Made Us Sit Together In Heavenly Places In Christ Jesus.

Proverbs 3:5-7 

Trust In The LORD With All Thine Heart; And Lean Not Unto Thine Own Understanding. In All Thy Ways Acknowledge Him, And He Shall Direct Thy Paths. Be Not Wise In Thine Own Eyes: Fear The LORD, And Depart From Evil.

Proverbs 3:11-26 

My Son, Despise Not The Chastening Of The LORD; Neither Be Weary Of His Correction: For Whom The LORD Loveth He Correction; Even As A Father The Son In Whom He Delighteth. Happy Is The Man That Findeth Wisdom, And The Man That Getteth Understanding. For The Merchandise Of It Is Better Than The Merchandise Of Silver, And The Gain Thereof Than Fine Gold. She Is More Precious Than Rubies: And All The Things Thou Canst Desire Are Not To Be Compared Unto Her. Length Of Days Is In Her Right Hand; And In Her Left Hand Riches And Honour. Her Ways Are Ways Of Pleasantness, And All Her Paths Are Peace. She Is A Tree Of Life To Them That Lay Hold Upon Her: And Happy Is Every One That Retaineth Her. The LORD By Wisdom Hath Founded The Earth; By Understanding Hath He Established The Heavens. By His Knowledge The Depths Are Broken Up, And The Clouds Drop Down The Dew. My Son, Let Not Them Depart From Thine Eyes: Keep Sound Wisdom And Discretion: So Shall They Be Life Unto Thy Soul, And Grace To Thy Neck. Then Shalt Thou Walk In Thy Way Safely, And Thy Foot Shall Not Stumble.  

When Thou Liest Down, Thou Shalt Not Be Afraid: Yea, Thou Shalt Lie Down, And Thy Sleep Shall Be Sweet. Be Not Afraid Of Sudden Fear, Neither Of The Desolation Of The Wicked, When It Cometh. For The LORD Shall Be Thy Confidence, And Shall Keep Thy Foot From Being Taken.

2 Timothy 1:7 

For God Hath Not Given Us The Spirit Of Fear; But Of Power, And Of Love, And Of A Sound Mind.

Ephesians 2:4-10 

But God, Who Is Rich In Mercy, For His Great Love Wherewith He Loved Us, Even When We Were Dead In Sins, Hath Quickened Us Together With Christ, (By Grace Ye Are Saved;) And Hath Raised Us Up Together, And Made Us Sit Together In Heavenly Places In Christ Jesus: That In The Ages To Come He Might Shew The Exceeding Riches Of His Grace In His Kindness Toward Us Through Christ Jesus. For By Grace Are Ye Saved Through Faith; And That Not Of Yourselves: It Is The Gift Of God: Not Of Works, Lest Any Man Should Boast. For We Are His Workmanship, Created In Christ Jesus Unto Good Works, Which God Hath Before Ordained That We Should Walk In Them.

Hebrews 7:25 

Wherefore He Is Able Also To Save Them To The Uttermost That Come Unto God By Him, Seeing He Ever Liveth To Make Intercession For Them.

SELL ALL THAT YE HAVE, AND BUY ONE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE

SELL ALL THAT YE HAVE, AND BUY ONE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE

Matthew 13:43-46 

Then Shall The Righteous Shine Forth As The Sun In The Kingdom Of Their Father. Who Hath Ears To Hear, Let Him Hear. Again, The Kingdom Of Heaven Is Like unto Treasure Hid In A Field; The Which When A Man Hath Found, He Hideth, And For Joy Thereof Goeth And Selleth All That He Hath, And Buyeth That Field. Again, The Kingdom Of Heaven Is Like Unto A Merchant Man, Seeking Goodly Pearls: Who, When He Had Found One Pearl Of Great Price, Went And Sold All That He Had, And Bought It.

Luke 17:20-21 

And When He Was Demanded Of The Pharisees, When The Kingdom Of God Should Come, He Answered Them And Said, The Kingdom Of God Cometh Not With Observation: Neither Shall They Say, Lo Here! Or, Lo There! For, Behold, The Kingdom Of God Is Within You.

2 Corinthians 4:6-7 

For God, Who Commanded The Light To Shine Out Of Darkness, Hath Shined In Our Hearts, To Give The Light Of The Knowledge Of The Glory Of God In The Face Of Jesus Christ. But We Have This Treasure In Earthen Vessels, That The Excellency Of The Power May Be Of God, And Not Of Us.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 

What? Know Ye Not That Your Body Is The Temple Of The Holy Ghost Which Is In You, Which Ye Have Of God, And Ye Are Not Your Own? For Ye Are Bought With A Price: Therefore Glorify God In Your Body, And In Your Spirit, Which Are God's.

1 Thessalonians 4:4 

That Every One Of You Should Know How To Possess His Vessel In Sanctification And Honour;

Ephesians 2:1-10 

And You Hath He Quickened, Who Were Dead In Trespasses And Sins; Wherein In Time Past Ye Walked According To The Course Of This World, According To The Prince Of The Power Of The Air, The Spirit That Now Worketh In The Children Of Disobedience: Among Whom Also We All Had Our Conversation In Times Past In The Lusts Of Our Flesh, Fulfilling The Desires Of The Flesh And Of The Mind; And Were By Nature The Children Of Wrath, Even As Others. But God, Who Is Rich In Mercy, For His Great Love Wherewith He Loved Us, Even When We Were Dead In Sins, Hath Quickened Us Together With Christ, (By Grace Ye Are Saved;) And Hath Raised Us Up Together, And Made Us Sit Together In Heavenly Places In Christ Jesus: That In The Ages To Come He Might Shew The Exceeding Riches Of His Grace In His Kindness Toward Us Through Christ Jesus. For By Grace Are Ye Saved Through Faith; And That Not Of Yourselves: It Is The Gift Of God: Not Of Works, Lest Any Man Should Boast. For We Are His Workmanship, Created In Christ Jesus Unto Good Works, Which God Hath Before Ordained That We Should Walk In Them.

The One Pearl Of Great Price Is Who We Have In Our Bodies, This Treasure Is In Our Earthen Vessels, That The Excellency Of The Power May Be Of God, And Not Of Us. Our Bodies Are The Temple Of The Holy Ghost Which Is In Us, Which Ye Have Of God, And Ye Are Not Your Own? For Ye Are Bought With A Price: Therefore Glorify God In Your Body, And In Your Spirit, Which Are God's.

Romans 8:9-17 

But Ye Are Not In The Flesh, But In The Spirit, If So Be That The Spirit Of God Dwell In You. Now If Any Man Have Not The Spirit Of Christ, He Is None Of His. And If Christ Be In You, The Body Is Dead Because Of Sin; But The Spirit Is Life Because Of Righteousness. But If The Spirit Of Him That Raised Up Jesus From The Dead Dwell In You, He That Raised Up Christ From The Dead Shall Also Quicken Your Mortal Bodies By His Spirit That Dwelleth In You. Therefore, Brethren, We Are Debtors, Not To The Flesh, To Live After The Flesh. For If Ye Live After The Flesh, Ye Shall Die: But If Ye Through The Spirit Do Mortify The Deeds Of The Body, Ye Shall Live. For As Many As Are Led By The Spirit Of God, They Are The Sons Of God. For Ye Have Not Received The Spirit Of Bondage Again To Fear; But Ye Have Received The Spirit Of Adoption, Whereby We Cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit Itself Beareth Witness With Our Spirit, That We Are The Children Of God: And If Children, Then Heirs; Heirs Of God, And 

Joint-Heirs With Christ; If So Be That We Suffer With Him, That We May Be Also Glorified Together.

For Sin Shall Not Have Dominion Over You: For Ye Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace. What Then? Shall We Sin, Because We Are Not Under The Law, But Under Grace? God Forbid. Know Ye Not, That To Whom Ye Yield Yourselves Servants To Obey, His Servants Ye Are To Whom Ye Obey; Whether Of Sin Unto Death, Or Of Obedience Unto Righteousness?
