Cultivate: How to Grow
Manage episode 436347808 series 3029528
As followers of Christ, we choose a life marked by the Fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control). However, there is an ongoing battle within all of us between the flesh and the Spirit. When we are living by the flesh, we are being controlled by our most basic and selfish desires. We recognize that there are things that need to die in us and things that need to be birthed in us. We also feel the tension between what we can do and what only God can do. A life in the Spirit is not something that we can achieve on our own; it is something that we receive when we believe and trust in God. Through prayer and practice, we can cultivate a life with God where the Holy Spirit yields good things in us and around us.
