The Taste is Going to Move You

The taste is going to move you...When we have fruit that is produced by the Spirit of the Father. It's not dehydrated, it's something that causes us to want to continue to produce it. 

I hope the Juicy Fruit jingle makes you laugh, and also helps you remember that the fruit of the Spirit is something that is good and desirable. 

In Galatians, it talks about the fruit of the Spirit and we focused on peace, love, and self control.  

Peace that surpasses understanding. I explained it like this: “peace despite knowing some facts.”  When we are able to have peace despite the bad diagnosis. Information that is contrary to the truth of the Word of God.  The peace of God is something that gives us a solid place to step out from, and to walk in faith from.

Love has been redefined in our society. It is a plan by the enemy to change how we perceive, give, and receive love so that we are unable to connect and be an example of God's love on this earth.

Self-control. This fruit of the spirit is two parts. It does require us to do something yet it also still requires the spirit of the Father to help us when we are weak. Because when we are weak He is strong.  So when we need self-control we do our part and then we trust and rely upon God to bring His part. 

Self-control is matured when God's instructions for life are written on our heart, it's part of us, and it helps us stay in the place that we truly desire and want to be. 

So let’s discuss...

What redefined fruit stood out to you?

How does the fruit taste different now that it's been redefined?

How do you see the fruit of the spirit moving you in the future?
