Taking Responsibility for the fruit in your life!
Don't throw excuses, just take responsibility
We are the product of the environment we create.
-The Environment you create for your life, sets the tone!
-If you don't like how your life it now, CHANGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT!
-Create a different environment!!
Romans 12:2 "Do NOT conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is -His good, pleasing, and perfect will."
The WRONG Environment will lead you to conform!
The RIGHT environment will lead you to transform!
You don't need to change, because you can change back just as quickly. You need to TRANSFORM into something completely different!
Galatians 5:16-25 "16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever[a] you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 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.22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit."
It's not a fruit issue, it's a root issue!
Fruitful always follows faithful!
3 Dementions to our growth
1. Desire - This is God's job
Dare him to give you a desure!
Philippians 2:13 "For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose."
God isn't going to work through you if he hasn't worked in you!
2. Dicipline -Thats your job!
-Feed the spirit, starve the flesh!
-The ONLY way to change your life is to CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
3. Delight- This just happens
-Happy Just Happens
-Galatians 6:7-8 "The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."
LIVING FOR GOD IS NOT ABOUT TRYING HARDER, IT'S ABOUT TRAINING DIFFERENTLY!
