The Fruit of the Spirit [Click to download]
Galatians 5:22-25
As we grow in Christ, we will grow increasingly to perceive the leading and direction of the Holy Spirit in our lives. When he commands us, through the Bible, to do something, we do it. When we feel within us the inability to love, or be joyful, or have peace, or show patience, or be kind or good, or faithful, or self-controlled, we're to give ourselves over to the Holy Spirit and allow him to produce those things in us. We're to march to the Holy Spirit's drum-beat. And as we do, we discover that along the way, he is progressively and increasingly producing his fruit in us

Empowerment by the Holy Spirit – Cathy Brown [Click to download]

When we are baptized in the Holy Spirit we experience Christ in a different and often more intimate way. The Bible, our prayer and our walk with Jesus become more alive. The fruit of the Spirit will grow in new and very specific ways. The gifts of the Spirit are experienced to equip us to serve God in new and specific ways. Cathy speaks how this was worked out in her life.

Romans 12:1-2
As a new creation, we are transformed through the power of the Holy Spirit.  Now the extent of our transformation is not only the work of the Holy Spirit but also requires our cooperation. The Spirit of God works or “fellowships” with our spirit, making intercession and helping us in our weakness.
