We just finished doing a long series on faith for miracles and I just believe the Lord has put on our heart now to explore more of his word and we're gonna begin a series today on the Fruit of the Spirit. When we receive Jesus Christ as Lord of our lives, the Holy Spirit came to live on the inside of us and he operates and serves as our teacher. He's the one that leads us, he's the one that prompts us, he's the one that shows us and gives us direction. He's the one that reminds us of what the word says and keeps us and leads us to the right direction that God would like to take us and so for each and every believer, for each and every one who's made Jesus Christ Lord of their lives you have the spirit of God living on the inside of you and unfortunately we ignore him. We're still callous, we're still want to lean to our own understanding, we still want to do and operate we used to operate when we're in the world and so that's why we minimize the ministry of the Holy Spirit, but he is there, he never leaves us, he never forsakes us and when he came to live on the inside of us, with him are the Fruit of the Spirit and there's nine Fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance, and we're going to take our time and we're going to look at each and every of the nine Fruit of the Spirit. How they are to operate in our lives, in our everyday lives. I'm telling you, when a believer has the Fruit of the Spirit operating daily in their lives, it manifests what the Word of God calls holiness . We're just set apart and we're distinct from the world. I mean in our language, the way we do business, the way we raise our families, it's governed by the Fruit of the Spirit and this is what God's plan is. We are to be a light, an example to those that know the Lord and it first starts in our home. It starts also in our churches and it applies, as I just said, in every area of our lives. So, let's have a word of prayer and let's begin on today's lesson on the Fruit of the Spirit and specifically we'll talk about love. Father, we just thank you right now, we give you all the glory, all the praise, all the honor Lord God. We thank you, Father, for the spirit of wisdom and a revelation that the eyes of our understanding be enlightened. Father, we thank you and declare that we're not just hearers of your word, but we are doers of your word because only the doer of the word is blessed. And Father, we just thank you, we just give you all the glory, all the praise, all the honor in Jesus's name, amen. Well, if you have your bibles with you, I'm going to ask you to turn with me to the Book of Galatians and we're going to begin reading at the 16th verse. So, Galatians Chapter Five, Verse 16, we'll begin reading there. Our foundation scriptures will be verses 22 and 23. If you've been following the program, you always know we have foundation scriptures, so every broadcast will use our foundation scriptures and begin to allow the Spirit of God build the teaching, build the lessons so that we have understanding. So that we can not just hear it, but we know how to apply what the Word of God is saying to us in our everyday lives. The Word of God is not only believable, it is doable. It is livable and God made it available for us with the help and the assistance of his precious Holy Spirit, amen. All right, let's begin reading Galatians Chapter Five, Verse 16. "This I say then, walk in the spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." And that word lust is not a word of perversion, it just means strong desire. We have strong desires, amen. There's strong desires to eat. There's strong desires to sleep. There's strong desires for a man and a woman to come together to be intimate with one another. So these are a part of the flesh and understand that they don't go away, but they are to be subject to the Spirit of God. They are to be subject to our natural, human spirit, amen. Who has been impressed and who has been influenced by the Holy Spirit, your spirit, and my spirit. Verse 17, "For the flesh, lustith and again, "is in contention of fights against the Spirit "or the Holy Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh "and these are contrary, the one to the other, "so that you can not do the things that you would. "But if you are led of the Spirit, "you are not under the law. "Now, the works of the flesh are manifest, "which are these, adultery, fornication, uncleanness, "lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, "variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, "heresies, envyings, murders, "drunkenness, revellings, and suchlike "of the which I tell you before, as I have told you also "as I have also told you in time past, "that they which do such things "shall not inherit the kingdom of God." But, Verse 22, "but the Fruit of the Spirit "is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, "gentleness, goodness, faith, "meekness, temperance, against such there is no law." Meaning that when a man or woman of God begins to operate and let the Fruit of the Spirit which is already in us, begin to flourish, and manifest, there's nothing that Satan can do against us. There's no accusation that can stick against us. There's no weapon formed against us. We're allowing what's already on the inside of us and understand that it's in seed-form. It's in seed-form just like our study of faith, we read in Romans 12:3 how God has given to every man the measure of faith. Well, you've been given these Fruit of the Spirit, the measure of the Fruit of the Spirit in seed-form. It's up to you and I to allow the Spirit of God to show us and let the fruit begin to grow and manifest. We were just looking at some media images of the Fruit of the Spirit, what to show in the background, and this is not a criticism, but it's just something that you commonly see if you've heard this type of teaching before. We us examples of natural fruit, you'll see oranges and apples and grapes and pineapples and bananas and suchlike and it just marked me that we're not going to use those images because all those images rot, fruit rots. Natural fruit rots, but the Fruit of the Spirit never rots. Amen, it's spiritual. We have been born again of incorruptible seed. That's what it says in first Peter, Chapter One Verse 23. Incorruptible seed, it cannot wither, it cannot purtrify. It's permanent, it's forever, but it'll stay in small or seed-form if it's never been watered and never allowed to grow, amen. But that's not you and us, that's why I believe the Spirit of God is changing our teaching here on More Than a Conqueror Television Broadcast and again, we're going to do our study, a thorough study on the Fruit of the Spirit. Now, today's lesson is on the very first fruit that's mentioned here in verse number 22 which is love. So, let's continue studying right now. Let's go to same chapter, Chapter Five in Galatians, Verses 13 through 15. So Galatians, Chapter Five, Verse 13 through 15 and in the first fruit that's mentioned in Galatians 5:22 is love, amen. Verse 13 says, "For brethren, you have been called "unto liberty, only use not liberty "for an occasion to the flesh, "but by love serve one another, for all the law "is fulfilled in one word, even this, "thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself, "but if ye bite and devour one another, take heed "that ye be not consumed one of another." We've done some teaching on the Love of God and we're getting in a snapshot, we're gonna re-visit this because I believe that love is the most important thing that any believer can develop in because understand faith works by love, everything that you hear about in the gospel should always have a foundation of love behind it. Whatever we do, if we're teaching on prosperity, if we're teaching on healing, if we're teaching on having good relationships, love must be the foundation. I believe this why the Spirit of God had the apostle, Paul, write this letter to the church at Galatia and the first thing that he reminds them of is walking in love. And understand what we just read, that love fulfills all of the law, so all the, I believe it's 6000 different laws and ordinances and all that. Well, love fulfills of it and so understand how important this must be to our heavenly father and how valuable it is for you and I to walk in the love of God and how much Satan does not want you and I to operate and love. Understand, he's always trying to get the church to fight against itself. Remember when Jesus said in Matthew that a house divided cannot stand. That a house divided against itself cannot stand. So when we have church splits and church fighting and marriages in division and strife, understand wherever strife is, it is the manifestation of Satan and so that's why we have to on purpose choose to yield to the Fruit of the Spirit, the one called love all the time. That's how we keep the enemy out of our relationships, we keep the enemy out at bay from our church services, we keep the enemy at bay out of our marriages, relationship with our children, and in everything that we're involved with, we can operate in the Love of God. There's no situation too hard that love cannot fix, that love cannot bring things back into order. Okay, let's just keep going. Let's go to Galatians Chapter Six, Verses One and Two. Galatians Chapter Six and Verses One and Two. And it says, "brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault. "ye which are spiritual restore such in one "in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself "less thou also be tempted. "Bare ye one another's burdens "and so fulfill the Law of Christ." Well the Law of Christ is found in St. John, Chapter 13, Verses 34 and 35 and we'll go there. The Law of Christ is the law of love and remember. Let's just go there to St. John, Chapter 13. Where Jesus says, "a new commandment, I give you." St. John, Chapter 13 and Verse 34. And if you have a King James bible, I understand it's written in red so this is Jesus talking, amen. He says, "a new commandment, I give unto you, "that you love one another as I have loved you, "that you also love one another and by this "shall all men know that you are my disciples, "if you have love one to another." This is the value that God has placed on his commandment of love and what we just read it's referred to in Galatians, Chapter Six, Verse Two, as the Law of Christ. This is a commandment, this is not an option. We are commanded to operate in the Love of God. So understand in order for God to give us this type of instruction and to have this type of emphasis on the importance of walking in love, he had to give us the ability to do so. All right, so you have the ability, if you made Jesus Christ lord of your life, you have the ability, you have the authority to walk in his love because it's his love that we walk in. It's not ours, our love. It's not something we have to build up. It's not anything we have to conjure up. It's already on the inside of us and the Holy Spirit reminds us to walk in this love. What happens is that we get in, we get aggravated, we get frustrated, we get in the flesh, and we override the spiritual law of walking in the Love of God. But understand, God does not give up on us. He's for us, never against us. He's always there to respond to us. He's always here to help us. As a matter of fact, he's so close, when we think about God we usually always, and I believe this is right, when we think about the Father, the word of God does tell us he's in Heaven on a throne, right? But when you think about the Holy Spirit, he's actually on the inside of us. He's just that close and the Holy Spirit tells us everything that Jesus said, he reminds us of what Jesus said and he gives us instructions from the Father. He's right here. I've said this before on the broadcast, he's better than your GPS system, amen. He's better than your navigation system, amen. He's just that good, he's just that close. We're learning how to recognize his voice. We're learning how to yield to him because he will even tell us what to say in a hard moment. He'll give us directions, how to solve a problem. How to get out of strife and let the peace of God rule and be a manifestation, amen. The Spirit of God, his responsibility is to teach you and I how to live a godly life on this earth. So again, this instruction, this commandment, this law that Jesus gives us is the law of love and so it's not optional. If you want to give God glory in the earth, which is our responsibility, he's called us to be witnesses and he said, in what we just read, if all the things that God could have used for you and I to be witnesses on the earth for him he could of used our wealth, he could've used our good looks, he could've used our power, our intelligence, but he chose love. Of all the different things he could of chose, he chose love that we should have for each other and he said though this is how the world will recognize that we are his disciples. How we treat one another, how we help one another, how we respond to each other. This is the witness that the world is waiting to see. In Romans, Chapter Eight, it talks about all of creation is waiting to see the manifestation of the sons of God. Well this manifestation will be defined on how we cooperate with each other. How we respond and how we help one another. I heard of a statistic about churches in general and they, the statistic quoted that for a church that has been in existence for up to 10 years has experienced at least three church splits. At least three church splits. Well, understand that is the work of the enemy. Now, we know that God will separate people to start a work and to do a different work, but it's always done indecently, it's always done in order, it's always done in love, and always understand that, when people, when God plants people out of a church, relationship should always still be intact. Relationship is always intact, there's no strife. There's no division, there's no haughtiness, there's no pride, because we're all on the same team. We're all on the same team. We may have different assignments, different responsibilities, but we're all on the same team, amen. Let's keep going, let's go right now to Romans, Chapter Five and verse number five. Romans, Chapter Five and Verse Five. And it says, "and hope maketh not ashamed, "but the Love of God, because the Love of God "is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit "which is given unto us." So, this same substance of love, which we read in first John four, that God is love, he himself comes to live on the inside of us, amen. By the Holy Spirit. The Love of God has been shed aboard in our hearts, in our spirit, man, by the Holy Spirit. So this love is in you. This love that the world cannot comprehend, this love that is not based on the condition, this love is not based on the performance of another person but this love is unconditional. It's only desire is to help, it's only desire is to assist, it's only desire is to see a person be restored. This is the Love of God, this is what's already on the inside of you, because you made Jesus Christ lord of your life. This kind of love, you are capable of loving your enemies, amen. But think about this, sinners know how to love each other, right? But the true test of seeing the Love of God manifested in our lives is when we don't agree with someone. Or when something has gone wrong or our feelings have been offended and yet we still overlook the offense and we're still coming to the aide, coming the benefit of another person. Maybe they have offended us, they hurt us, they've wronged us, but the Love of God doesn't look at the offense. The Love of God says, "how can I help you? "How can I restore you? "I want you blessed, I want you whole." This is a manifestation of the God kind of love and again, I just believe the Spirit of God is just having us pound this. It's already on the inside of you, wanting to come out and express and be a blessing to other people. The same God kind of love. A part of the Fruit of the Spirit, amen. Let's keep going, let's go to Ephesians, Chapter number three. Ephesians, Chapter Three and Verse 14. Ephesians Three and Verse 14. And this is a prayer that the apostle Paul is praying for the church at Ephesus. Verse 14 and it says, "for this cause, "I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, "of whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named. "That he would grant you according to "the riches of his glory to be strengthened with might "by his spirit in the inner man." The word, "might", means the ability to accomplish anything and this prayer, Paul is praying, he says that you and I be strengthened with the ability to accomplish anything by his spirit, by the Holy Spirit, in our inner man. In our spirit, our recreated spirit. Verse 17, "The Christ." And that word, "Christ", means the anointed one and his anointing. "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith "that you and me being rooted and grounded in love." Of all the things he could've said, he chose love because love is, I believe, the most important thing for you and I to develop first. Love for God, love for our neighbor and it's possible, it's doable, amen, the Word of God is also liveable to be rooted and grounded in love. So that means my thought-life is our thoughts of love. My motives are motivated by love. All that I put my hands to is driven by the Love of God. My love for my brother, my love for my sister, this is how Jesus lived in the earth and recognize that the Love of God is not just accepting anything and everything. The Love of God knows how to confront and when to confront. The Love of God doesn't just always speak the truth and try to be right, but the Love of God speaks the truth because of Love. That's why we speak the truth, we're motivated by love, because a person can speak the truth, but their motive being malice or their motive is hurt, to hate, or to injure someone, that's not the Love of God. So it's important when we do speak the truth, love is our motive because truth makes a person free, amen. In St. John, Chapter Eight, I believe it's Verse 32, Jesus said that the truth will not just set you free, Jesus said the truth will make you free and so when a person is caught up in something, caught up in sin, bound by the enemy, truth, when it's spoken correctly, motivated by love, can make them free. Where they can recover themselves and then receive the gift of repentance and be restored and go on with the Lord, Jesus Christ, and do what God has called them to do. Let's keep going, Verse 18. Let's read 17 again, "That Christ may dwell in your hearts "by faith, that you, being rooted and grounded in love "may be able to comprehend with all saints "what is the breath and length and depth and height "and to know the Love of Christ which passeth knowledge "that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God." Verse 20, "Now, unto him that is able to do exceeding "abundantly above all that we ask or think, "according to the power that worketh in us." We'll quote that Verse 20, but understand that you don't get to Verse 20 without Verse 19 and Verse 18 and Verse 17, so the ability to receive from God on a level beyond what we could ever ask or think is dependent or founded upon how established we are in the Love of God, being rooted, being grounded by the Love of God. Faith works by love and we receive from God by faith. So understand if I'm shaky in my love-walk, my faith-walk is shaky, amen. If my faith-walk is shaky, my ability to receive from God will also be shaky. Provision, healing, restoration, promotion, whatever it is that God has promised us in his word, it's foundation is the Love of God, amen. Well we're gonna stop right here. You be blessed, if you'd like to partner with us, I'd like to encourage you to do so.
