Bearing Fruits!

Firstly I wanna thank God for every process, every wisdom and His patience towards me to teach me in understanding His words. There is no greater joy than knowing Him

(Philippians 3:7-8) But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ

Even though I was born legally as Christian 25 years ago, but I don't think I have been born spiritually as Christian. Oh well, Bible teaches how to be a true Christian : we must do a good work, be kind to others, be generous to others and help the less, forgive your enemy, and yes every religion teaches these too, doesn't it? how to be a good person. But don't you think that it's a tiring task to do? when your friends betray you, cheat you, is it really easy to forgive? and must be good every minute to everyone, isn't really a tiring task to do?

but do you really understand these words?

(Colossians 3:23) Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human

There is the time I'm tired to be patient, and forgive others who repeat the same mistake and it's silly to be still kind to your enemies moreover when you know you are right, and when I have trouble and seeing no way out I think it's still allowed to be worried; I always have an excuse to walk in flesh by thinking "I'm an ordinary human" rather leaning on the truth that I'm saved and should walk in Spirit. Of course it's not easy to against the flow to be good in this fallen world, because you know your enemy is real here, and devils always wait the right time to catch & destroy you, Bible describes it very clearly : 

(Ephesians 5:16) KJV: "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil."

(Ephesians 6:12) NASB: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."

(1 Peter 5:8) Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 

and then until God like speaking to me like this : 

it's impossible to bear fruits when His spirit does not dwell in you. We will be weary to do good works when we do it in flesh. Because only Holy Spirit who strengthens us and enables us supernaturally to do the righteous works and walk in Spirit.

THE QUESTIONS ARE : 

1. How to bear fruits?

Firstly, we have to be united in One Spirit with Him:

(John 15:5) I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

When Holy Spirit dwells in us, we will understand this verse :

(Colossians 3:23) Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human

Our heart will rejoice only to serve Him more and more; our heart will delight in Him; we will be full-satisfied in Him because that's what the Holy Spirit desires --- to serve Him. 

When The Holy Spirit rests in us, we will gain the understanding of the TRUE JOY 

(2 Corinthians 8:1-2) We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. 

2. How to get that? 

ASK HIM with all your heart. 

Only God who can sent you His spirit, and the good news is our Heavenly Father is generous

(Ezekiel 36:26) I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 

(Luke 11:13) If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

So friends, what people struggling most these days is seeking for PEACE. We often mistakenly demand temporal things to fulfill our desires, but I have to say that if we DON'T STICK WITH the SOURCE of PEACE, then it is just impossible to get the TRUE PEACE within our hearts. 

So I love these words : 

"KNOW JESUS then YOU WILL KNOW PEACE"

(John 14:27) Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

When His Spirit and  Peace dwell in us, it will supernaturally transform us  :

(Galatians 5:22-23) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law

(Philippians 4:7) And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

So that the world will know that we are the children of the Most Highest from the fruits we bear 

(Matthew 7:16) By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 

Only by His help that enable us to turn into Christ-like people, abide in Him then we will bear much fruits.

So this is my journal and The Peace of Christ Jesus be with us
