STEP FIVE: MEDITATE
Verses to memorize and meditate on: Verses 16-18 and 25-26. Also memorize the list of spiritual fruit which God wants to develop in my life. Meditate and study on the meaning of each fruit of the Holy Spirit. What does it mean to be gentle, good, meek, temperate, etc?
STEP SIX: MAKE APPLICATION
Example to follow: Developing the fruit of the Holy Spirit in my life.
Error to avoid: Works of the flesh.
Duty to perform: Walk in the Spirit (verses 16,25) Be led of the Spirit (verse 18) Live in the Spirit (verse 25)
Promise to claim: "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." Verse 16.
Relationships to develop: My relationships with others should demonstrate love, longsuffering, gentleness, meekness. I need to develop joy, peace, goodness, faith, and temperance in every area of my life. I learned that God wants my relationship to Him to be based on holiness in conduct. If I truly belong to Christ it will affect my relationship to others, myself, and God.
Changes to make: The three areas I need most to change:
Temperance: Control my appetite. Develop self control and discipline. Faith: Be more believing of God's promises. Love: Show love to those around me who are unlovable.
Prayer to pray:
Dear Heavenly Father: Help me walk in your Spirit, be led of your Spirit, and live each moment in your Spirit. Cleanse my life from the works of the flesh. Help me to crucify worldly desires. Develop the beautiful fruit of the Holy Spirit in me. In Jesus name, amen.
