The work of the Holy Spirit

 It is significant to notice in scriptures that there are two group of nine in connection with the work of the Holy Spirit in our life.
 1. The nine fruit of the Spirit, which are a result of the Holy Spirit indwelling presence.
 2. The nine gifts of the Spirit, which are a result of the Holy Spirit's infilling power.
We will discuss the nine gifts of the Spirit or the infilling of the Holy Spirit later. Every born again believer has the manifestation of the fruit as a result of the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Paul list them in Galatians 5:22, But the fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance: aginst such there is no law. This is the very Character of God inside of you, it is the character of Jesus. Romans 8:29 says, For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be comformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first-born among many brethren. God has predestined us to be made into the image of Jesus. He has appointed us to bear the same spiritual fruit. The whole purpose of this is so that we may be transform and make our character just like His. Most believers don't realize the importance of the Fruit of the Spirit, it is more than optional equipment, it is more than a list of pleasant qualities, No, it is a powerful component in the overcoming life. It is crucial for those who want to operate in the gifts of the Spirit. You may be wondering, If the fruit of the Spirit is so powerful and it's already in me, why doesn't it operate fully in my life? Why, like I said through many of my posts, there's a price to be paid. It's like working out, you work out to keep your muscles tone, in much the same way we read the Bible to work out our spirit, to keep it tone, if you never place the word of God in your spirit, just like our muscles, it will become unuseable. The fruit, just like anything else has to be develop, and learn how to use, it is not an event, but a process. Reading the last part of verse 23, it says against such there is no law, Child of God when you're able to let His fruit come forth, we'll talking the very Character of God on you, every demon in hell will flee from your presence, lack will be gone, sickness will be gone, no weapon form against you will be able to stand in His presence. Inside of you is the power of heaven, but it comes with a price. Praise God and Amen
