Today I am sharing the first part of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on cultivating  more of His character and fruit in our lives.

The Holy Spirit talked to me this morning in my communion time about cultivating more of His Character and fruit in our lives. He reminded me that we are new creations in Christ and the old things have passed away. 2 Corinthians.5:17. They are totally gone, never to be revisited. (Please pause and meditate on this thought.)

All things are new and we are now trees of righteousness that produce fruits of righteousness from the Lord who works in us. We are the planting of the Lord that cannot be removed. Isaiah.61:3. (Rest in this.)

Now because the Lord Himself planted us no one can remove us or His nature from us, that’s why the only way to harm us is to deceive us concerning truth in order to rob us of life.This is because we wilfully offer ourselves as slaves of sin to fulfil the plan of satan rather than God’s intention for us.

The Holy Spirit then spoke further to me from Galatians.5:22 to the end about the fruit of the Spirit and its operation in our lives and why we always need to yield to His fruit rather than our natural nature as our way of dealing which brings life and productivity.

Always remember every Spiritual action brings or produces valuable fruit that lasts and has longevity which gives life.John.6:63.

He pointed out to me that the Holy Spirit many times has to keep us in certain difficult situations so we can develop the fruits of Himself in us. Keep this truth in the centre of your heart.

The fruit of long suffering can only be developed in situations that are offensive and difficult to us which annoy and frustrate us. Difficult situations that push us to act by retaliating angrily at first, until we are able to find peace in them to the point where they no longer determine the way, we respond.

Thus the love of God can flow out of us regardless of what happens to irritate and make us angry, because the person close to us keeps on repeating the same offense against us and refuses to change. 

Until we reach the point where we hate their callousness because they are not supporting or helping us after so many years of constant repetition of the same corrections time and time again.

Well for longsuffering to be developed in us we need to make the change ourselves so our character reflects the Lord not ourselves. (Take time to let this truth sink in and make the necessary corrections applicable to you through repentance to change this mindset.)
