I was given this study because I was losing my focus on my daily walk with the Lord. It is such a trying time when you are a single parent and moving forward. But I am a blessed person in the Lord and I pray that this bible study blesses you just like it did me.
SO BEFORE STARTING THIS STUDY, AS IN ALL THINGS: PRAY BEFORE STARTING!!!
The Holy Spirit will guide you in this and will show you things that will open up your eyes to Him. SO lets get started!!!
The text we will be getting this from is:
Galatians 5:22:
“ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindess,goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.”
Notice one thing when reading this passage..”Spirit” is capitalized-So the “S” tells us that each one of the fruits comes from the Spirit and nowhere else. This is His job!
The 9 fruits are God’s-It is Gods love, Gods joy, Gods peace, Gods longsuffering, Gods kindness, Gods goodness, Gods faithfulness, Gods gentleness and Gods self control that HE is pouring into each one of us. So this tells us a lot of the way God not only sees us but how much HE truly cares for us, no matter what we are going through in this life!!! Now, lets break each one of these down to get a better look at just what the God of the universe sees each one of us as….
FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT:
1. LOVE
2. JOY
3. PEACE
4. LONGSUFFERING
5. KINDNESS
6. GOODNESS
7. FAITHFULNESS
8. GENTLENESS
9. SELF-CONTROL
To being with what exactly does ‘The Fruit of the Spirit “ mean?
To begin with the Holy Spirit has “works” to do. The Lord did not just send His Presence down here to hang out with us or to not do anything. He was sent to be guide us and show us the way. After all He is our “comforter” as it says in John.
John 15:26
King James Version (KJV)
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
The Spirit is here to cause things to happen in the lives of each one of us. When we pray for someone and change starts to take place and the person is no longer the way they use to be. This is a sign of “The Fruits of the Spirit”. No longer are they to be the same again.
We are changed once we accept the Lord as our personal Savior. I am not saying we will be perfect- in no means anyone of us are. I am saying we have forgiveness in our lives and will be forgiven of our sins. We will mess up in this life and from day to day. But, when we call upon the Lord, He will run to us and pick us up and clean us off again. How awesome is that ?
This concludes the introduction…..
