Live in the Spirit: Talk it! Live it! Pray it!

For the past nine weeks we have focused on each fruit of the spirit…love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

The fruit of the spirit separates believers from the godless world. The Holy Spirit lives in every believer and this should show in our character and the way we live our lives. As believers, the Holy Spirit controls our lives and produces fruit. The fruit of the spirit takes time to grow in our lives and requires our attention to keep in step with the Holy Spirit. This is a power that helps us become more Christlike in our daily lives. As we walk with the Holy Spirit we seek His direction through prayer, daily reading of Scripture, and obediently following God’s commands.

This week let’s look closer at living in the Spirit.
