Today I share the conclusion of my communion time with the Holy Spirit on cultivating more of His character and fruit in our lives. I pray that your hearts will be stirred to become more united and one with the Lord.

The Holy Spirit pointed out to me in this communion time new insight into the operation of fruit of the Spirit and how it is developed in us by the things we need to do to ensure we are walking with, in Him and not through our head knowledge which will still produce death many, many times over.

The concept of walking in the Spirit and not fulfilling the lusts and desires of the flesh is real. You can be assured it will be tested in us through real life situations with those closest to us. For certain also the Holy Spirit will evaluate us our progress and score our performance through providing retests in this area until we come through to victory by walking in complete surrender to Him. Galatians.5:16.

The Holy Spirit made it clear that we as humans most times believe we have nailed things much quicker than it really is and take for granted that we now possess them. This mindset is a great disadvantage and snare to us, because we are left to the enemy in an unguarded place (watch for this as it removes us from protection until we repent and change which is costly) believing we are guarded which satan can use to completely run us as a football to score goals of defeat, shame and disgrace which he wants people to believe is the fruit of serving God.

The result is that people think that serving God makes you wretched and worth nothing. So why leave sin if it benefits and provides temporary pleasure to just be Holy to have a life/death really of nothingness by giving up things to serve God.

We do need to let the Holy Spirit be the Judge of where we are spiritually and allow His assessment of us to guide us. This keeps us humble before Him and ensures our growth because we know that without His input we would fail anyway. So we keep submitting and surrendering your old nature to Him so we can gain His nature. Luke.9:23.

Well today I have shared a part of my time with the Lord with you so you can see that no matter how many years one has walked with the Lord each day is a fresh breath of revelation and insight for enrichment and edification.

We are disciples not masters.

We will never attain Master status but will be allowed to partake and share His status as we walk in total surrender to Him. (Let this soak in and always remember it.) John.17:24-26.

So today I encourage you to reflect on these words and let the grace supplied through them arise in you to make all necessary corrections which will empower you to see how greatly this impacts your forward movement. This work of the Spirit will enable you to be fruitful in  the Kingdom expansion of Jesus on the earth which Jesus saved us to do for His glory. 

Have a glorious day in the Holy Spirit in Jesus name. Amen.
