Remember last week, we read in Galatians 3:14 that He gives us the promise of the Spirit by faith. Fifty days after Jesus ascended to the Father, the Spirit first came to live within the believers (see Acts 2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the fruit of the Spirit living in us that should flow out toward others: \u201cBut the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,&nbsp;gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!\u201d (Galatians 5:22\u201323 NLT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PRAYER:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dear Lord, I receive the promise of Your Spirit by faith and thank You that His fruit\u2014love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,&nbsp;gentleness, and self-control\u2014is abundantly flowing in and through me.
