Shalom,

I really LOVE this teaching on the Fruit of the Spirit by Kenneth and Gloria Copeland from their devotional "From Faith To Faith":

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23

So many believers think of the fruit of the spirit as little more than a passive list of pleasant qualities that can help improve their personalities. But it’s far greater than that! It’s pure spiritual power.

Love is so powerful, the scripture says, that it never fails. Patience is so powerful it cannot be stopped. No matter what the circumstances, it will not quit. Temperance is so powerful it can master all the unruly desires of your flesh.

The fruit of the spirit is not weak; it’s strong. So strong all the demons of hell can’t stop it. So strong that if you’ll let it flow out of you, it will correct the problems in your life. It will keep you steadfast when all the people around you are falling down. It’ll keep you on your feet when governments fail and when the storms of life come.

We are living in dangerous days. There’s only one way you can make it through in victory. You must begin to release the powerful fruit of the spirit God has placed inside you. Believe me, if you’re born again, it is there. Learn to yield to it and as 2 Peter 1:10 promised, you shall never fall!

AMEN! When you and I REALLY realize that these 'fruit" are ours as a result of our new nature, because of the New birth, then we will be unstoppable by the enemy! These are not just good ways to behave! These are part of the complete package of who we became, and Who came into us, at the very moment that we received Jesus as Lord and personal Savior! Everything we need is available to us, and IN us, because the Spirit of the Living God lives IN US! HALLELUJAH! THAT is why we can declare, with Paul, Philippians 4:13:

I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].

AMEN! Take some time every day to meditate on just who YOU are - IN HIM - and you will begin to have great faith and boldness to do whatever HE instructs you to do! AMEN! Here is Hillsong United with "Heart Like Heaven":

 

Shalom in Him!
