Feeding on the Word of God - HOLY SPIRIT


Galatians 5: 16-26 (Life by the Spirit)


So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Father Robert Baron gives a very very very wonderful and illuminating preaching on the Scripture above and sheds light on the following questions:
  • How do I know that I am doing the will of God?
  • How do I know that I am allowing the Holy Spirit to move in me and through me? 
  • What do love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control in the Holy Spirit mean and what do they look like?

His preaching beautifully defines what these fruits are and how they look in our dispositions and in our daily living! Do not miss an opportunity to listen to this teaching! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1INut0Gi09Q
