Love John 13: Thessalonians 4:9 1 Peter 1:22 1 John 4:7-11

Patience in the Midst of Trouble Psalm 37:7 Romans 5:3-5 Ephesians 4:1-2

The God Factor Read Again 2 Thessalonians 2:16 – 3:5 Note that these are instructions from Paul to the Thessalonian Church Note also the unmistakable supernatural component that is needed in our lives for all of this to make any sense. Paul obviously lived with a moment-by- moment consciousness of God; so should we.

The God Factor Closing Prayer: – For the empowering and working of God’s Spirit – For that unmistakable supernatural component to be evident in our lives – For Faith – For Love – For Patience in the midst of Trouble – For obedience that is clearly empowered by God. – The God Factor must always be allowed in.
