Joy: Count it all joy, my people, when we face trials, the testing of our faith develop perseverance
Peace: We will have perfect peace through our connection with God, peace beyond our understanding
Patience: God is not a microwave oven we cannot put in a prayer tonight and expect an answer tomorrow. God work on His time and in His will, we must learn how to wait on the Lord.
Kindness: It does not cost us anything to be kind, in fact being kind to others brings you joy to our hearts
Goodness: There is goodness in all people, the Word tells us "For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude."
Faithfulness: If we are faithful and obey the word of God, there is nothing He would not do for us.
Gentleness: The way to defuse any situation is by being gentle, and gentleness is not a sign of weakness it is a show of strength.
Self-Control: Our ability to control our emotions and desires can be difficult without Christ-like character. We must study the Word to help us develop our Fruit of the Spirit this is how we control our behavior.
If we loved the LORD, as much as a mustard seed, everything else in our lives would fall into place. There would be no injustice, hate, envy, or jealousy in this world.
Lord, we come to You with open hearts asking You to fill those that seek You with Your love. Father, You said, “a man's heart devises his way: but You directed his steps.” Father, we thank You for free will, but Lord we only have the ability to choose from our sinful nature, so please direct our steps. Father, we stand at the door, and knock, and we hear Your voice, please open our hearts and come to us, so we can walk in the Spirit, and not fulfill the lust of our flesh. Lord, we confess with our mouth and believe that Jesus was raised from the dead, to save us. So Father, help us develop our Fruit of the Spirit so we can be good men and women and become more Christ-like and delighted in Your ways. Lord, we come to You with the faith of a mustard seed, that You will answer our prayers, in Jesus mighty name Amen
