THE SWEET INFLUENCES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON YOUR CHARACTER.

THE SWEET INFLUENCES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ON YOUR CHARACTER.
Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23.
Topic:The Sweet Influences of the Holy Spirit on your Character. 

"But the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."
Galatians 5:22-23

Under the sweet influence of the Holy Spirit, you have the supernatural ability and grace to bear the fruits of the Spirit. Without the influence of the Holy Spirit you will be an ordinary man; full of greed, selfishness, lust, impatience, discontentment, suspicion, mistrust and evil thoughts and pride. When you come under the influence of the Holy Spirit, you develop a completely different set of character traits. You virtually change into a different person. Instead of lust you are full of love. Instead of discontentment you are full of joy and peace. Instead of impatience you are full of long-suffering and gentleness. Instead of wickedness you are full of goodness. Instead of mistrust and suspicion you are full of faith. Instead of pride and arrogance you are full of meekness and temperance.

Naturally human beings are not full of love and joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. Allow the Holy Spirit to influence you and bring out these wonderful character traits. Embrace every experience in life as a God-given opportunity to bear fruit. Why do you think no one wants to marry you? Why do you think no one wants to be with you? Why do you think you cannot keep a team together? Love never fails. You must allow the Holy Spirit to change your character and make you enjoyable to be with. Are you quarrelsome or are you peaceful? Are you irksome or are you full of temperance? Are you full of lust or you are full of love? Are you under the influence of the Holy Spirit or you are under a sensual and devilish influence?

When the sweet influence of the Holy Spirit is strong in your life you will be able to wait for God’s timing in everything. You can always tell when someone has been under the influence of the Holy Spirit for some time. You will see by the fruits in his life and her life. She may be pretty on the outside, having earthly influences that give her good hairstyles, good necklaces and nice make-up. But it takes the influence of the Holy Spirit to have a nice character. Are you impressed with the make-up and the nice dresses? Then the earthly and sensual influences on the lady are working on you. Are you impressed with her love, joy, peace and meekness? Then the sweet influences of the Holy Spirit on the lady are drawing you. It is time to pray in the spirit and open yourself to that wonderful influence from above.

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
