In Christ I am: FILLED WITH FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT<\/u><\/em>
\nBut the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.\u00a0 Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV<\/em><\/p>\n

Believers, in Christ we have been filled with all these wonderful qualities.<\/p>\n

As the Holy Spirit abides in us, and we walk with Him daily, these fruits of the Spirit will come forth in our lives.
\nGod wants us to be fruitful in good works, that is why He has provided us with all these qualities, and as we walk in the Spirit and do God\u2019s work, we and others will see these fruits produced in us daily.<\/p>\n

But, our old nature, the flesh, does not want us to be fruitful.\u00a0 It does not want us to walk in the Spirit and produce these fruits in our life daily, therefore every day we will have a battle with the flesh, and we will have to make a choice to walk in the Spirit and not give in to the flesh.<\/p>\n

So daily let\u2019s determine we are going to be fruitful, we are not going to let the flesh control our lives, but we are going let all these wonderful qualities we have been filled with come forth.
\nLet\u2019s determine each day that we are going to walk in the Spirit, and as we do, we and others will begin to see these wonderful fruits manifesting in our lives.<\/p>\n

Blessings to you in Christ.
