John 15

16.Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you.

What a promise! God chose us to bear fruit for Him so that whatever we ask, He will give it to us! How's that for an "Affirmation"? Claim the powerful Word of God in your life if you want huge change!

17. These things I command you, that ye love one another.

It's a commandment from Jesus that we love each other. We may not like each other, but we must love each other!

18. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

What does He mean by the "world"? I think it means people who only live for their flesh and fleshly desires and who have no faith in God or the invisible, spiritual world that we live in.

19. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

If the world doesn't hate you, there's something wrong! Got any enemies?

20. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not Him that sent Me.
22. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
23. He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both Me and my Father.
25. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated Me without a cause.
26. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of me.

Here, Jesus is talking about the Holy Spirit which is poured out to believers without measure. All we need to do to receive it is to ask for it. It's the Spirit of TRUTH. We could all use a lot more of it, right?

27. And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
