Fruit of the spirit

Galatians 5:22-23New International Version (NIV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

We all must bear spiritual fruit
The Spirit of God who lives in us is producing results as long as we are born again.
pro-activity is a life of a christian-

John 15:5 New International Version (NIV)

5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Jesus emphasizes the connection to Him (the branch rather than the process of fruit bearing).
to be connected is a life of sacrifice, it is demanding of us.
Its obvious to see and tell what tree a fruit comes from.
The fire within us is covered by the ash, we need to blow away the ash and this fire will be rekindled then we will bring forth the fruit of the spirit that lies within us.
If we are to stay alive, we must stay in the spirit because we are born of the spirit, lest we die and not bear fruit

John 6:63 New International Version (NIV)63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit[a] and life.  The words of Jesus are spirit and life, the flesh accomplishes nothing.

You can't build walls with no foundation neither can we build a roof without walls
We can't manifest the fruit of the spirit when we live outside the spirit realm.
everything that happens in this life first happens in the spirit.
The assurance that Jesus lives in us and works in us is the key to our victory over the sinful nature.
The Holy Spirit doesn't immunize us against the fruit of the flesh but He empowers us to be able to stand in the moment of trial and temptation and resist the power of the sinful nature.

Romans 8:13 New International Version (NIV)
13 For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

An encounter with the Holy Spirit will not leave one the same; because He will master us and thus we will bear fruit of Him.

Fruits of the Flesh

Galatians 5:16- 19

Anger, Idolatry, witchcraft, desires of the flesh.

The fruit if the Spirit are produced by the Spirit in us.

As long as you are born, you are capable of sin.

Why doesn't God take away sin once someone is Born again once and for all?

Being born again means u r capable of the fruit of the spirit, so there is a declaration of war against the flesh. One against the other.

Mark 11:13 God expects us to have the Spirit producing fruit at all times.

There is always a war going on in the inside of us, and where there is war, one side wins.

No one who lives with the values of the flesh will inherit the kingdom of God. There is need for you to examine your life to find ourselves and if we find the fruit of the flesh, we repent and ask God to give us His Spirit.

You need to command the body to follow the desires of the Spirit.

Because there is war going on, we r not able to do that good that we know we should do.

God doesn't take away son when we turn to God because God wants us to entirely depend on Him.

Galatians 5:16

Let the Holy Spirit guide your life, there is no other way to overcome the desires of the flesh but by the Holy Spirit.

You need to make a decision to stop committing sin with the help of the Holy Spirit.

You cannot succeed without the help if the Holy Spirit. Live and be guided by the spirit of God.

We should yield to the Holy Spirit and allow the desire if the Lord to fulfill us.

We shall live with this battle until we leave this world.

The duty we are called to as Christians is I align with the Holy Spirit.

How shall we perform this duty.

1. Be ware of the desire of the Holy Spirit as opposed to the desire of the flesh
2. Commit ourselves to the guidance of the word of the Lord.
3. We need to depend on the Holy Spirit and His influence in our lives.
