Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God’s Word – It’s inexhaustible. Every time you read it, God gives you something new. He establishes and re-enforces truth, wisdom, life, perspective, knowledge and understanding. His Word transforms your mind, and when your mind is transformed, your life is transformed. Most of our life is lived through our mind, even more than reality. It’s how we view things that happen, more than really what happens. God said, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," more than what happens to him. That’s why I’m so thankful for PRISM – it’s how you can do what God said - to transform your mind every day. Actually PRISM just brings you to God’s Word, and His Word is what transforms you! God reminding me this morning about seed and fruit. You don’t plant fruit, you plant seed. Fruit comes from seed. When seed is planted, it becomes fruit. And then the fruit gives you the next seed. A recent Daily Huddle – spoke of things that are connected, that God says precede and follow another - "the thing that brings the thing." A man’s wisdom gives him patience; Above all else get wisdom – and you’ll get patience with it. But how else does patience come? Galatians 5:22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience… So just like if you get wisdom you'll get patience, if you get the Holy Spirit - you'll get patience along with Him. So how does your life demonstrate those fruits of the Spirit? The old nature still wants control, but God has given you the Holy Spirit - so you can have the fruit the Holy Spirit gives. Luke 13:11 – “If you though you are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask. Ask God to fill you today with His Holy Spirit – just like you did when you first received the Holy Spirit. Then walk in the Spirit - and you'll see the fruit of the Spirit in your life, not the fruit of the flesh. So how do you walk in the Spirit? Pray in the Spirit. Sow the seed that brings the fruit. Pray in the Spirit and you will walk in the Spirit. When you pray in the Spirit, you are praying the exact will of your Heavenly Father from Jesus - through the Holy Spirit into your spirit. When you pray in the Spirit, your mind is surrendered, and your spirit comes to life. When you pray in the Spirit – the Holy Spirit is in control, not your mind, and the Holy Spirit will always produce fruit. When you pray in the Spirit – love comes – you obey easier; joy comes – you rejoice in His presence and His promise; peace comes – so all fretting can cease; patience comes – longsuffering – you learn to trust Him and His timing; gentleness comes – you become kind, useful in the best interest of others; goodness comes – you start doing the things that God does as He directs your steps; faith comes – you become convinced, fully persuaded and fully relying on His Word - constant in duty and affection; meekness comes - humble in spirit, power under submission, and temperance comes – strong, uncontrolled by emotions or appetites but by the Holy Spirit. Praying that you will pray in the Spirit – the seed that yields you, so the fruit of the Spirit is produced in you – and gives you even more seed to sow. Think of what your life will look like, when the Holy Spirit produces love in you - full obedience to him, and blessing to others, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, humility, and surrender. These are what make you effective, fruitful, not fruitless, truly happy, completely fulfilled. Praying that you will pray in the Spirit so you walk in the Spirit, that you'll so the seed that brings the fruit... so you get everything that comes with Him. Love you all, dad
