FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT




"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance”

-Galatians 5:22-23




Our Father, which art in Heaven:

We ask that you will forgive us for our sins.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.  We want to walk in your Spirit, and not after our flesh.  We will walk in your spirit, and we will not lust after the flesh.  Our desire is to walk in your spirit, and we must have the fruit of the Spirit in our lives in order to walk in your spirit.  The fruit of the Spirit is love, and love is of you (God), we must have and show love to people.  The fruit of the Spirit is joy, and in your presence is the fullness of joy, and we want to have your joy.  The fruit of the Spirit is peace, and we must seek peace, and pursue it.  The fruit of the Spirit is longsuffering, for you are longsuffering (Numbers 14:18), and we must have longsuffering, despite our obstacles.  The fruit of the Spirit is gentleness, for your gentleness will make us great (Psalm 18:35).  The fruit of the Spirit is faith, and you told us to have faith in you.  The fruit of the Spirit is meekness, and if we are meek we will inherit the earth.  The fruit of the Spirit is temperance, for you want us to have self-control in our attitudes and the way we live.  We will make it our obligation to have the fruit of the Spirit in our lives daily.  “If we live in the spirit, let us also walk in the spirit.” –Galatians 5:25-

Representing Christ In Our Daily Lives



“Representing Christ Daily In Our Lives”

 “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ”
-Ephesians. 5:20-

Our Father, which art in Heaven:

We ask that you will forgive us for our sins.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.  We want to represent you and your glory God in how we live.  You have called us as a chosen generation, and a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a peculiar people, in whom you have called out of darkness, and into your marvelous light.  We will show the world that we are representing you as your, chosen generation, and that we have been called out of darkness (sin), and into your marvelous light (salvation).  Lord, in our language and communication we will represent who you are.  Our language will not be filthiness, foolish talking, or jesting, because they are not convenient (Ephesians 5:4).   We will represent you in our ways and character because we will walk in your spirit and not our flesh.  For the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance:  We will represent you at our place of our employment, in our communities, and in our daily affairs.  We want the world to see that your light is in us, and that you are the light of the world.  We will not represent Satan in any part of our lives, but our duty is to represent you to the best of our ability in all that we do.

We will Evangelize!




“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.




-Matt. 28:19-20-


We ask that you will forgive us for our sins.  Create in us a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within us.  Lord, we have a strong desire to share your gospel to the world.  We want the world to know who you are, and that you are the only true and living God.  We ask that you will equip us with your armor to go out into the world in love sharing your mighty truth.  God we are your mighty witnesses going into the uttermost parts of the earth sharing the gospel.  The world needs to hear about you!  For you loved the world, and you gave your only begotten Son (Jesus), that whoever believes in him will not perish, but will have everlasting life.  We ask that you will lead us to the proper trainings and teachings to allow us to effectively evangelize your gospel, not hindering a lost soul to turn away from you, but to come to you, with the heart desire to be saved.  We will be loving witnesses telling the world about Christ!  We will not be ashamed of the gospel, but we will proclaim the gospel!
