Where do get the ability to do that?

1 Thessalonians 4:9

But concerning brotherly love you have no need t= hat I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;(NKJV)

Because the love of God continually flows in our lives we voluntarily release

that<= /span> love into other people’s lives.

Many people try desperately to leave a good impression on others

---everyone wants to be well thought of.

No one wants his or her weaknesses exploited<= /h2>
We all have weaknesses and inefficient areas of = our lives.

A person that concentrates on their streng= ths is more effective than a person absorbed in their weaknesses.

That is a basic need------Help fill that n= eed.

It feels good to say good things a= bout other people.

Seeing the good in other people and giving compliments changes the way you view yourself.

You will begin to see the possibilities and not the obstacles.

It’s enjoyable to build up another person by recognizing their strengths.

Romans 12:5

So we, numerous as we are, are one body in Christ (the Messiah) and individually we are parts one of another [mutually depend= ent on one another].(AMP)

Since we are mutually dependent on one another we have a responsibility to build up the body by building up each other

Can you see the evil intent of the enemy trying to get us to tear down each other?

God wants to use you to encourage other people in the body.

Have you ever noticed that some people= don’t know how to receive compliments?

When you do that you not = only deny yourself encouragement from the compliment but also rebuff the person giving it.

Recondition yourself to receive encouragement---= Simply say thank you

It’s one thing to see a need but another t= hing to fill the need.

Speaking encouragement into others creates unity= .

John 17:21

that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in= Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe t= hat You sent Me.(NKJV)

A union of Christian believers founded on our be= lief in the same God---united in Him

that the world may believe=    that the world so full= of animosities and strife may see the power of Christ overcoming contention and producing love.

1 Peter 2:5

you also, as living stone= s, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.(NKJV)<= /p>

As living stones we are s= et apart by God, hewn and made fit for the spiritual building

These living stones have been cemented together.

We have become the house of God in a spiritual sense.

When we see a need i= n other and fill that need we spread the cement of love and affection= ?

We make the conscious decision to be nurturing to one another.

We see a need and fulfill that need.

When we see positive= traits or potential in another person we speak into that person’s life.

Death and life are i= n the power of the tongue.

We can speak life to= an area of a person’s life.

Or—we can s= peak death and discouragement in what we speak

If God loves u= nity then Satan hates it.

Is there any gratifi= cation to tearing down the building that God and the church is building-----------= YES<= /u>

On a basic fleshly l= evel, we love to see dignity crumble.

What Satan wan= ts to inspire in us ---is the build ourselves up through tearing down oth= ers.

What the Holy Spirit= teaches is that we are built up through Him and we build up the body = of Christ—by encouraging others

= Challenge - Start seeing the good in o= ther people----speak that good to other people---encourage someone in the streng= th you see in them

Then compare t= hat feeling of speaking good with the sick feeling y= ou get when you tear someone else down.

God empowers us to p= our into situations that have need.

Compassion not= only recognizes the need but fills the need

Matthew 14:15-16

When it was evening,= His disciples came to Him, saying, "This is a deserted place, and the hour= is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages = and buy themselves food." But Jesus said to them, "They do not need t= o go away. You give them something to eat."(NKJV)<= /p>

They do not ne= ed to go away. You give them something to eat

Matthew 14:17

And they said to Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fish."(NKJV)

Matthew 14:18

He said, "Bring= them here to Me."(NKJV)

Bring what you have = to be used of the Lord.

It may not seem adeq= uate of sufficient.

Matthew 14:19-20

Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to= the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. So they all ate and we= re filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained= .(NKJV)

A supernatural incre= ase by offering what we have to be used of God

Speaking posit= ive things into other people’s lives produces greater results than we realize.

Remember the t= wo greatest commandments

Why does God want us= to love our neighbor as ourselves?

Because God is= love but also that God pours His love to us to flow out to others.

Luke 6:45

A good man out of th= e good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an = evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.(NKJV)

A good man out= of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good

Sometimes we have unexpressed sentiments

Good things we admir= e about other people

Sometimes we h= old back those sentiments for a variety of reasons

It might cost you so= mething to release that to another person

If fact God wi= ll pour into you an abundance of what you need

Luke 6:38

= Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, a= nd running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."(NKJV)

How will it come bac= k to you?------From God sometimes through other people

If you want a friend be a friend.=

Sometimes we only get feedback on what’s wrong.

Begin to speak to the potential in other people

We don’t accept Satan’s assignment of tearing down artificially buildi= ng ourselves up.

There is a synergism and power in unity created from this.

2 Chronicles 5:13

indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one s= ound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised t= he LORD, saying: "For He is good, For His mercy endures forever," th= at the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud,(NKJV)

indeed it came to pass, when= the trumpeters and singers were as one

Then God’s presence filled the house

Acts 2:1

When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one p= lace.(NKJV)

Philippians 2:2

fulfill my joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.(NKJV)

by being like-minded,    preventing strife and contention in the church

All of us promoting the gospel message of Jesus Christ---- promoting the salvation of souls.

All of us growing in grace---increasing and becoming more productive=

having the same love   having love for one an= other, speaking that love into the lives of others.

being of one accord, of one mind   though our opinions may differ on some points---

But a basic agreement of preserving and maintaining affection and unity.
