Holy Spirit Produces Fruit of Joy

1/8/2019

"But the fruit of of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another." Galatians 5:22-26 Nuggets of Truth: Whoever accepts Jesus as their Savior and Lord receives the Holy Spirit seal and immediately becomes God's adopted daughter or son. Only the Holy Spirit produces the Holy Spirit Fruit in a child of God. If a child of God is not willing to crucify their fleshly passions and fleshly desires, they are disobeying God and are not living and walking by the Holy Spirit. Every identified adopted child of God willing crucifies their fleshly passions and fleshly desires! An adopted child of God is not to be boastful, challenging/provoking or envious of another person. Being boastful is self-promotion or self-centeredness by being conceited, proud and arrogant, with too much focus on self. Challenging or provoking others leads to making another person angry. If a person angers you, they can control you and can provoke you. Anger can be productive. "Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil and opportunity." Ephesians 4:26-27 If you become angry, do not be provoked to break fellowship with God by sinning. On the other hand, it is usually almost always better if you just quit being angry. "Cease from anger and forsake wrath; do not fret, it leads only to evildoing." Psalm 37: 8 Nuggets of Truth: Choose to stop being angry through acknowledging the Holy Spirit gift of self-control. If you almost never become angry, the enemy is going to have a hard time provoking you. As a beloved child of God I have possess and claim the Holy Spirit gift of self-control. Emotions can be very dangerous at times when expressed to an extreme. As you seek to avoid getting angry, you will experience greater peace. Implement renewing your mind daily by claiming the Holy Spirit fruit. Satan never gives up, but you can defeat him on every hand if you believe and apply the Word of God to your life. "You are from God little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He that is in you, than he/satan who is in the world." 1 John 4:4 Nuggets of Truth: The Holy Spirit residing within me is greater than satan and his hierarchy. Envy is resenting any advantage someone else has including their job, car, home, wealth, experience or success. The person resents the other person for what they possess and leads to covetousness thoughts and actions. This is when we want what they have and take steps to acquire what they have in a sinful way. "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say Rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Finally brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of Peace will be with you." Philippians 4:4-9 "For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us--by me/Paul and Silvanus and Timothy--was not yes and no, but is yes in Christ Jesus. For as many as the promises of God, in Jesus they are yes; therefore also through Jesus is our Amen to the Glory of God through us. Now God who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God who also sealed us and gave us the Holy Spirit in our hearts as a pledge. But I call God as witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come to Corinth. Not that we Lord it over your faith, but are workers with you for your joy; for in your faith you are standing firm." 2 Corinthians 1:19-24

The Bible, the Living Word/Jesus says, "As it is written, 'there is none righteous, not even one; there is none who understands, there is none who seek God, 'all have turned aside, together they have become useless; there is none who does good, there is not even one.'" Romans 3:10-12 All people are born with a sin nature since both Adam and Eve chose to rebel against God by disobeying the one rule God gave them: "The Lord God commanded the man, saying, 'From any tree of the Garden of Eden you may eat freely; but from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die. When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.'" Genesis 2:16-17, 3:6 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23 God's Living Word, Jesus levels out the playing field lest anyone says they are good because God says that none of us are good and all people are sinners! These words from God are painful, but the Truth! Pain is the great equalizer in earthly life and of all the things that can cause pain in people's lives, sin is the biggest cause of pain. Why? All sin is primarily against God. We all experience pain in some way and pain reminds us of how little control we have over our life. Little control may sound like a negative thing, but is also a big relief! Why?! God's Words are the Truth! God cannot lie. "In Hope of Eternal Life, which God who never lies, promised before the Ages or time began." Titus 1:2 "In Jesus, you also, after listening to the message of Truth, the Gospel of your salvation, having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of Promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a review to the redemption of God's own possession, to the Praise of His Glory. Ephesians 1:13-14 God promises Eternal Life to verified Holy Spirit sealed adopted children. "So that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the Hope set before us." Hebrews 6:18 Since god created me to be a free, I can either accept or disagree with God. If I disagree with God, I am wrong/sin! "This is the message we have heard from God and announce to you, that God is Light, and in God there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with God and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the Truth. If we say we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the Truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make God a liar and God's Word is not in us." God never lies, but speaks the Truth. "God made Jesus who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Jesus." 2 Corinthians 5:21 Nuggets of Truth: Jesus became sin on my behalf and paid the debt for my sins! Thus, solving my sin problem. My responsibility is to flee sin daily. "But as He who called you is Holy, you also be Holy in all your conduct, since it is written, 'You shall be Holy, for I am Holy.'" 1 Peter 1:15-16 Nuggets of Truth: God commands me to be Holy in my conduct, by acknowledging the Holy Spirit dwells within me to access the mind of Christ. "This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve, 'The stone which the builders rejected, this became the very corner stone,' and 'A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; for they stumble because they are disobedient to the Word/Jesus, and to this doom they are also appointed. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a Holy nation, a people for God's own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light, for once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God, you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. Beloved, I urge you to as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul." 1 Peter 2: 7-11 God is Holy. God is calling His adopted sons and daughters to Holiness because we are perfectly forgiven and made the very righteousness of God the day we accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord. "Strive for peace with everyone, and for Holiness without which no one will see God." Hebrews 12:14 Nuggets of Truth: Do you desire to see God? Then, as beloved child of God pursue peace with everyone and pursue Holiness by obeying God. God promises a New Heaven and a New Earth as written in Revelation 21:1-15, 22:1-7.
