Subject:
- Walking in the Spirit.
- The Fruit of the Spirit.
- Gentleness
- We all are learning to be God’s servants, by baptism we enter into His body and learn to do his will by serving Him.
- We must not strive which means to argue.
- Meekness is a humility. Apt to teach, able to teach, ready to teach and patient.
- Being apt to teach and patient, goes along with not striving.
- God gave us repentance to the acknowledging of the truth, we ought to do the same for others.
- The principalities and powers we are to be subject unto are the apostles, prophets etc. we are to be obedient to them trusting fully in God.
- We are to be ambassador’s of Christ. Representing Him to ones that know not Him.
- Out of the abundance of our heart the mouth speaks, if we allow the agape love to work in our heart what is there to speak evil of.
- We can judge the things a person does according to the Lord but don’t judge the person.
- None of us are above the Wisdom of God.
- Who are we to look down upon and judge, when we have to knowledge of what God has done for us.
- His mercy and grace is what makes up the difference for us.
- Good fruits are the things that bear testimony of God’s love.
- Goodness
- We are recipients of His grace, Him not giving up on us.
- A good recognition like David did was the goodness of God in loving him. It is the goodness in God that he loves us as well.
- We see first all the attributes of love in God but can be also found in us through God.
- It is important that we stand in all the goodness of God so it can be shown to those around us.
- Sheep depend upon the Shepherd to keep them safe, we need to recognize our utter need for that same guidance from the Lord and be thankful for it.
- David knew the word of the Lord was sure, we need to know the same thing.
- When He checks us lets be thankful and repent and turn.
- He has laid up goodness for those that fear God, recognizing who He is, and those that trust Him.
- He is there for us in every situation.
- Don’t judge His ways. They are righteous and good!
- We trust the Lord openly where we are and He protects us and keeps us.
- The pride of man hates the truth of the gospel so it hates those who stand in it.
- Cory Ten boom is a great example who was changed to be able to show forth the attributes of love and bear the fruit of it.
- When we experience the goodness of God, hold on to it and don’t let it go.
- Why do we turn and complain and judge and find fault?
- We need to hold onto Jesus Christ our righteousness! Fight the fight of faith!!!
- Nothing should stop us from ministering to others.
- The goodness of God leadeth the to repentance.
- It’s easy to feel safe and not recognize God isn’t bringing us to account. It stems from a place where we think we are different from other people. We have to be open to accept it or seek after correction.
- The fruit of the spirit dwells in all goodness righteousness and truth.
- We can dwell there as well by the blood of the lamb. If we stand because of that grace and not be tripped up. We have a new opportunity and every moment.
- It’s not about us walking around getting people to think we are perfect. It is showing others His grace to us which is available to them also.
- He shows up and it is evident.
- The goodness of God is upon all and should we give it to all.
- Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
- We must be immovable from the love of God in receiving it and giving it out no matter what!
- We shouldn’t wait for others to show kindness first, we need to show kindness to them. For Christ loved us while we were yet his enemies.
- There is no self justification at all! There is His justification which is all we need!
- The fruit of the spirit is the fruit of Him.
- Let us walk as Christ walked even when everyone was against Him.
- Set our faces as flint and endure hardness as a good soldier.
