I am putting forth my ideas and plans for my new year, I pray I can do this to the glory of God and for it to be able to help you out for ideas as well.1. I pray I can live out the fruit of the Spirit while at the same time putting to death the passions of my carnal flesh.Galatians 5Walking in the Spirit16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery,[c] fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders,[d] drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.2. I pray God allows me to enter into deep fellowship with my true family in Jesus ChristEphesians 2:19-22Christ Our Cornerstone19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.Galatians 6:22 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.Galatians 6:1010 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.Philippians 2:1-21 Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, 2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.Hebrews 10:24-2524 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.3. I pray that I can love God above all and in all I do that I may glorify Him so that it is not me receiving any glory at all but that Jesus Christ is glorified in all I do.1 John 4:1616 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.1 John 4:1919 We love Him[a] because He first loved us.Ephesians 3:17-1917 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.(Romans 8:38-3938 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.Thank you all for blessing me with your friendships, fellowship and love, you are truly blessings!!! Happy New Year and glorify Jesus!!!!!!Mark Cannon
