FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT ~ BIBLE VERSES
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Ephesians 5:9 For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.
Philippians 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Colossians 1:10-11 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.
John 15:1-5 I AM the true vine and my Father is the gardener. Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.
Matthew 7:16-18 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT ~ INFORMATION
The Fruit of the Spirit is Love | alternative link | alternative link (Nancy Missler) What is the “fruit of the Spirit” that God is looking for and what will qualify us to rule and reign with Him in the next kingdom? Partaking of Christ’s Life not only means receiving His divine nature when we are born again, but actually living His Life—His Love—here and now and producing godly “fruit.”
The Fruit of the Spirit – Joy (Nancy Missler) I had become so discouraged and so disheartened at some of the horrific events in my life that I had lost the joy of my salvation. I tried to remedy it by praying more, going to more Bible studies and giving more things over to the Lord. But still, I remained shut down and joyless. The event that finally changed my life was…
Never give up – The Fruit of Longsuffering (Nancy Missler) The first principle, then, in the Lords cycle of trust is knowing His will: knowing that He wants us conformed to His likeness. The second principle in this cycle, which we want to discuss this month, is knowing that God unconditionally loves us. Simply put, we cannot lay our wills and our lives down to someone and trust them (even God), if were not convinced that they love us.
The Fruit of Longsuffering (Nancy Missler) Have you ever experienced a time where you became so confused, so discouraged and so disheartened in your Christian walk that you just wanted to let go, give in and give up?
Learning Obedience through Longsuffering (Nancy Missler) When we encounter various trials and tribulations, we have two choices we can make. We can either doubt the Lords Love and provision, which leads to personal confusion and spiritual devastation; or, we can unconditionally trust and obey Him to an even greater degree.
Faith in the Dark Night – part 1 | part 2 | part 3 (Nancy Missler) After an exploration of why faith is so important, we now want to move on to what happens to our faith in the night seasons. We’ve seen that faith is simply being fully persuaded that God will do all that He has promised to do in His timing and in His way. We have also seen that God continually pushes us to the limit in order to strengthen our faith and transform us into His image.
What is a Partaker? (Nancy Missler) …we become partakers of Christ when His Life begins to come forth through us (sanctification). In other words, we continually lay our self-life down at the Cross saying, “Not my will, but Thine” and thus, His Life is able to come forth through us… loving with His Love, depending upon His strength, and making decisions through His wisdom. These are the ones who will be Christ’s co-heirs in His future kingdom. God’s plan is not simply to repair us, but to totally recreate us. He wants our old nature to be replaced by His new nature in us. This is what the sanctification process is all about—creating the image of Christ in us—for the purpose of bringing glory to Him.
Hope against Hope – part 1 | part 2 (Nancy Missler) God allowed me to go through my own Valley of the Shadow of Death so that I could personally experience what it means to have “hope against hope.”
The Fruit of the Spirit – Reflections of His Image (Nancy Missler) Abiding means… staying in the Lord’s presence. It means continuing to worship Him and be fruit bearers to others… The journey from “no fruit” to “much fruit” is learning how to abide in His Love, so that we will walk in the Spirit, so we can be God’s fruit bearers…
Comfort for Hard Times (Nancy Missler) which is where the fruit of the Spirit grows.

THINK SPOT : Have you ever seen a fruit tree straining to produce fruit? No, of course not. It is something that happens naturally. “Abide in me, and I in you,” Jesus told us. “As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me.” The fruit of the Spirit ~ the character of Jesus ~ is also produced naturally in us as we continually submit to the Lord Jesus and love Him and abide in Him. John 15:4

A note from the margin of my Bible from a sermon I heard goodness knows when. The fruit of the Spirit is ONE fruit, but with different facets (like a diamond), colours, flavours all rolled into one. If one grows, they all grow. But Godly character traits can only be developed through adversity. We may admire and want them, but we have to learn them the hard way. For example, the kind of love that gives freely of itself, at great cost to itself, can only be developed through situations that require sacrificial love; or by being treated unjustly and learn to suffer-long (which is the meaning of patience) the one who treats us unfairly, as we submit to Christ and draw from His patience. WARNING: So be careful if you pray for patience! :)

Oils of life (practicalpages) ‘I need to come to the Throne of God daily for fresh supplies of the oils of the Holy Spirit. I must confess my trespasses; forgive others their offences. I must seek Him for His mercy and grace. His very presence pours precious and gentle oils into my life; fills my life with perfect, sweet aromas, trickles smooth oils of patience, kindness, politeness, and love. I can then, in turn, pour out life, service, and holy acts of love towards everyone…’
Fabulous Christian fiction by Jack Dey that I love and recommend to all my readers.
