Galatians 5:22-23 NLT The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit
in our lives; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
The fruit of the Spirit is the spontaneous work, of the Holy
Spirit in us. The Spirit produces these character traits that are found in the
nature of Christ. They are and by-products of Christ’s control – we can’t
obtain them by trying to get them without His help. If we want the fruit of the
Spirit to grow in us, we must join our life to His (see John 15:4,5). We must
know Him, love Him, remember Him, and imitate Him. As a result, we will fulfill
and intended purpose of the law – to love God and our neighbours. Which of
these qualities do you want the Spirit to produce in you?
You have to be faithful in praying for your friends and family.
This is a daily exercise. If you want your family and friends to be redeemed
and saved, you have to put every effort in prayer, praying for each of them
daily. Continually, we must ask the Holy Spirit to fill them
with His glory and presence. He is the One who waters the seeds, which have
been sown in their lives. The fruit of the Spirit is the spontaneous work of
the Holy Spirit in us. He is the One who
grants us spiritual wisdom and understanding. He is the One who fills us with
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
self-control for within these there is no conflict. These fruits build up our
character traits, which are found in the nature of Jesus Christ. Without the
Holy Spirit we can do absolutely nothing. He
is our Helper, and He is in control and no one can obtain them without His
help. It is something each and every one of us has to learn.
