Galatians 5:22-23(NASB)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

These fruits that are mentioned, are qualities that are in the Divine Nature. For they exist only in the Divine Nature, and wherever the Divine Nature is manifested. These fruits are to be the outward proof, that Christ is living His life in and through a believer. These fruits are to be in every believer’s life, in a ever growing and ever increasing state. This is the manifestation of Christ being formed in the believer, which is walking in righteousness before God. This walking in righteousness before God is something that can only be done by the Spirit of Christ Himself. For it is impossible for anything other than the Spirit of Christ to bring these fruits or qualities to outward expression. For these qualities are good and only good can manifest good. 

For self or the fallen nature to manifest these qualities is a impossibility, the reason is, because self is not good. Self will try however, to express these qualities. Not seeing the truth, that because it is not good, it is incapable of manifesting these qualities. For self, not knowing or seeing itself, for what it is, is the reason for this attempt at futility. For self is life that has only three movers or drivers, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. These are in control of all it’s actions regardless of how much self try’s to cover and put forth other fruits. These three will be at the foundations of all it’s efforts, thereby corrupting all. 

For self is the life that has raised itself above all the laws of nature and creation. It would be a god onto itself. Sees or deludes itself into thinking it can bend creation to it’s own will. It elevates it’s thinking so much, that it thinks the natural consequences of it’s action are not, by right, it’s proper own. It thinks it’s above it’s own creation and therefore above it’s Creator. Henceforth living in lie or falsehood. Constantly trying to justify it’s behavior. It believes that all things are here for itself.  It will vacillate between using the good and not good, and make use of either as it will. It thinks it is not subject to any laws, even the one law of righteousness. Which is the root from which all proper laws grow. 

For God is love and loves righteousness and all good things. For it is a eternal truth, for any two  or more sentient beings to live forever together in peace and love there has to be law between them. And that law, is the law of righteousness, which we find is the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. If this law is not obeyed we would have chaos, everything would be formless and void, and we would have darkness on the face of the deep. Which I will leave to the reader to carry the thought out. 

To continue; Self as the life that elevates itself above the good and right. Self will attempt to manifest these qualities by using a forced restraint, because they are not natural qualities of it’s life. For life can only naturally manifest qualities that are natural to it. A good nature can and will only naturally manifest qualities that are of a good nature, likewise a bad or evil nature only qualities that have the same nature as itself. 

But self, wanting to be in a higher state than it finds itself in, attempts to manifest these qualities. Which it can do for a season, until something goes against it’s will, and will not let it have what it wants. Than self will act out of itself and pull from the qualities that are natural to it. Which since it is not good will only be evil or sinful qualities. For the use of sinful and evil qualities mean nothing to it, as right and wrong mean nothing to it. Something to use or not use, depending on whether it helps or hurts it getting what it wants. Right and wrong are a tool for the end, not the end in themselves. For self has gone and does go beyond what is written, and would be Lord over all. Such is the nature of self. 

For life is desire given motion. Sentient life is desire given motion with the ability to choose. For all living creatures want something. Are in a state of want or desire towards something. Self is pride manifesting itself as a life. Which fruits are the various forms of sin. Than finally in wrath, when it’s will is not met or meets it’s contrary. 

For all sin is a elevation of self. For self is that desire of life that elevates itself above and beyond that which is good and right. Which themselves, the good and right, are the only thing that can produce righteousness and peace for all eternity. Self fails to see that as sure as it exists, righteousness exists also. And righteousness says; the soul that sins, that soul shall die. This is where God becomes the just and justifier of him that has faith in Jesus. For by taking us to death with Him on the cross, Christ has become the fulfillment of the law that says; the soul that sins it shall die. For by Christ tasting death for every man, every man has died. This is why being joined to Christ in this lifetime is salvation. For if we are not dead in Christ, we are of all necessity, are to be dead in ourselves for all eternity. Henceforth the necessity, if we would be saved, of our deaths in Christ. 

For the fruit of the Spirit being manifested, as the qualities themselves are in themselves, can only be manifested by a nature that is good. And God alone has the Divine Nature that is good. So these qualities can only be manifested by His Spirit bringing them forth in a heart that would be open and  willing. Henceforth the scripture says the “just shall live by faith”. For a willing faith is that thing alone that is the doorway into this great and awesome gift of New Life we have been offered in Christ. 

For as one fruit of the Spirit can not grow without the others growing also. As all the fruit of the Spirit live or die together. Same as with all the qualities of the self life, they live and die together. For if you have no pride in you, you are free from all other sins for pride was the first mover and bringer forth of sin. As pride manifests it’s qualities in all the various forms of sin. Just the same you cannot have love without the joy and peace and all the qualities that are necessary to manifest love. Likewise you cannot have self-control without all the qualities necessary for the bringing forth of self-control. As with all, they are the food and the feeder of the other. 

For Christ is not and can not be separated. He can not separate His kindness, from His goodness and joy, or His faithfulness from His patience and gentleness. He comes in as a ruling power over the whole life, as a manifestation of His whole Divine nature, which Nature is not divisible. One undivided power of love to rule over all and use all of man to manifest Himself in and through. If kindness is called for, He is that to that which needs it. If gentleness is called for, He is that to that which needs it. He is the everlasting expression of all good things. This fruit of the Spirit of Christ living His life in and through a believer is the souls proper own. For that is why the soul was created in the image and likeness of God. To be able to eternally manifest and express God, to the degree and capacity it is capable of. The manifestation of the  fruit of the Spirit of Christ in a life. It is this  which all creation waits for. For this was and still is the reason and purpose of creation. That God’s creation would have the freedom, that having the Divine Nature brought to life in a soul would give that soul. Which is God’s ability to manifest truth and  righteousness for all eternity. For the expressing of truth and righteousness is like counting of numbers, regardless of how high you count, there is still a infinite amount of number still to be counted. Just the same with righteousness and truth, regardless of how much has been manifested and expressed, there is still a infinite amount that still can be manifested and expressed. This is the awesomeness of our God, and His love, with the offer of sharing His Great and Awesome Life, which is the ability to bring truth and righteousness to manifestation for all eternity, to all those that would be willing to receive it.  Which gift He freely offers to all. 

The fruit of the Spirit is the proof that Christ is alive in a believer. It is to the degree this fruit of the life of Christ is in a believer, that is to be the believer’s glory for all eternity. 

One undivided expression of that which is free from all disorder. Against this undivided expression, is that which there is no law. For laws are made for the lawless, those that don’t know how to behave themselves. Those that do, are free from all such laws. There is only one law now they are under, and that is fulfilled by the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus being the law of it’s life. 

Such is the freedom of the children of God. To live in perfect freedom and righteousness to all eternity. Such is the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Seek ye first the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit in you, and you will be and will have sought after the  Kingdom of God and His righteousness. For the manifestation of righteousness is the great plan and call of God to all that would have ears to hear. 

Blessings 

Much love in Christ, Not me

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
