Walking in the Holy Spirit Apostle Paul recorded aspects of the Holy Spirits ministry to the church and to individual believers in particular (see Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12) In Galatians 5:22-23, Paul revealed the fruit that the Holy Spirit produces in the life personage of each believer, namely; LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, AND SELF-CONTROL. It is impossible for human nature to produce any of the these by its own. But it is NATURAL FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT TO PRODUCE ALL OF THESE, LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS, AND SELF-CONTROL INTO THE PERSONAL LIFE OF THE BELIEVER, BECAUSE EACH ONE IS INHERITED IN HIM. And yet in our daily battle rages between the natural outworking of our own nature ( see Galatians 5:19-21) and our spirit, which longs to yield to the Holy Spirit. In the single sentence Paul revealed the only way we can overcome the power of our own nature: So, I say, Live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature (Galatians 5:16). UNFORTUNATELY, many believers have focused so intently on the gifts of the Spirit that they lost sight of the FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE HOLY SPIRITS OTHER VITAL MINISTRIES. THE WORDS OF CHRIST FORM THE PERFECTION FOUNDATION upon which our beliefs must rest. INTERESTINGLY, THE FIRST ROLE OR THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT THE LORD REVEALED WAS THAT He will teach you all things, and bring to your REMEMBRANCE ALL THINGS that I have said to you (John 14:26 , NKJV).
