The fruit of the Spirit out of your spirit

Galatians 5:22-23 KJV
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
[23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

Love
Love comes out of your spirit, you cannot "produce" love using your mind.

Joy
You can be sad in your mind and emotions in the moment yet possess the joy of the Lord all the days of your life (yes you can!!)

Peace
You can have a Peace of mind in the temporal moment yet be constantly worrying about everything at the back of your mind.
(Who's that at the back of your mind? Your spirit).

Long-suffering
It is only your spirit that could sacrfice or willingly suffer for the sakes of others. Your mind will only complain about the unfairness.

Gentleness comes from your spirit. Your mind can only fake it, and that is what others observed as a hypocritical kind of being good.

Goodness is manifested fir the sole benefit of others from the spirit. The fake goodness that the mind offered is always looking for pros and cons or expecting beneficial returns.

Faith
Faith is the very thing that the mind and intellect cannot comprehend and straightway categorise it as foolishness.

Meekness
Meekness (not cowardice) is a strength that comes from a humble spirit. Trying to fake it outwardky will only make you look weak.

Temperance
Only your spirit could rein in your temper, anger, lust etc. Your m
Intellect is powerless against the carnality of the flesh.

You spirit is the real you, your Being.
You are your spirit.
You are not your intellectual mind, nor your emotions, nor your sicknesses and diseases.
Roughly speaking, your conscience is the spirit, that is abke to tell good from evil, right from wrong.

Followers of Jesus Christ who believed that He has died for our sins and dud resurrect and ascended to the Throne of God has been given a new spirit aka born again spirit.

The difference between followers of Jesus and non-believers is that believers are led by the spirit which in turn is being led by the Holy Spirit of God and their soul is in turn led by their spirit.
Whereas,
Non-believers are led by their soul (mind, emotions, feelings etc). Their spirit is asleep or being override by the mind most of the time as their spirit is dead to God.

A Real-life Deliverance Account

My sister and I had just done a deliverance on my mum yesterday (Tue, 28 Nov 2023).  It started when she kept vomitting and feeling very giddy and we laid hands upon her as usual according to the Word for divine healing.  However, it merely gave some relief to her, unlike other times as after a while, the extreme nauseousness and giddiness attacked her again. Then right around this point the demon took over her mind (soul) somewhat partially. The symptoms was that she looked dazed and kept repeating over and over again a number of questions like "Why am I sitting here" etc.  At this point when we talked to her, she did not remember anything that she did for the whole day (current time around 4pm+). It is very much like how a person with dementia would behaved and conversed.  To keep the long story short,  we took 2-3 hrs of casting out the demons in her and she is well now. Fast forward, It appeared that the demons came from H***i B***r (American Missionary) who came to our s

Absolute Surrender: Peter's Repentance

Image
Absolute Surrender By Andrew Murray Peter's Repentance You may be a very earnest, godly, devoted believer, in whom the power of the flesh is yet very strong. That is a very solemn truth.  Peter, before he denied Christ, had cast out devils and had healed the sick; and yet the flesh had power, and the flesh had room in him.  Oh, beloved, we have to realize that it is just because there is so much of that self-life in us that the power of God cannot work in us as mightily as God is willing that it should work.  Do you realize that the great God is longing to double His blessing, to give tenfold blessing through us?  But there is something hindering Him, and that something is a proof of nothing but the self-life.  We talk about the pride of Peter, and the impetuosity of Peter, and the self-confidence of Peter. It all rooted in that one word, self.  Christ had said, “Deny self,” and Peter had never understood, and never obeyed; and every failing came out of that. What a solemn thought,

A word of Knowledge: Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove

Image
A word of Knowledge Stop depicting the Holy Spirit as a dove Luke 3:22 KJV And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Many people, if not everyone, have misunderstood this verse. They pictured the Holy Spirit coming in the shape of a dove coming down upon Jesus. No, this is not what God is telling us at all.  What purpose does it serve to tell us the Holy Spirit looks like a dove where He obviously does not look like that?  God is not the author of foolishness and  confusion.  We are made in God's image, therefore, God the Holy Spirit's bodily shape is one that resembles that of a man, just as God the Son and God the Father. Now, let us read the verse again slowly: "And the Holy Ghost descended in a BODILY SHAPE like a dove upon him" ...in what bodily shape? It is of course in the shape of a man! And the Holy Ghost DESCENDED in a bodily shape LIKE A
